This waterfront home was built on one of the premier lots in Alton Bay in 1918 and has been owned by the same family to this day.
The house has been completely modernized, but it retains the old cottage feel. It has a screened in porch facing the water on the west side of Alton Bay which affords excellent views of the lake and plentiful morning sun.
The private driveway places this house over 700 feet from the highway. There is adequate parking next to the house. The parking is on the same level as the main floor, and is accessed by a single six inch step.
On the main (first floor) there is a bedroom with two single beds. The full bath is located on the first floor. There are three bedrooms on the second floor with one double and two queen-size beds, and a half bath.
The house is fully furnished. The kitchen is fully equiped with new appliances, dishes, silverware and settings for 8 persons. Renters must provide their own bed linens and towels.
The beach is located about 40 feet from the house via a concrete and stone stair way. (Vertical distance is about 20 feet.)

Owner's Profile
Why the Owner Chose Alton Bay
This is the cleanest water anywhere, and when My Great Grandfather bought it in 1918 it had the best location with a great sandy beach.
It is private, and quiet.
