Beckwith Builders has crafted this gorgeous New England shingle-style lake house nestled along the shores of the picturesque Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire. This home was built as a family retreat for summers spent enjoying lakeside living. It was designed to maximize sweeping views over the lake while also providing a seamless indoor-outdoor connection for family gatherings.
The design of this lakeside escape features classic New England touches, including a checkered painted-wood pantry floor and a custom lighthouse newel post. Additional amenities of this home include an outdoor living area with a lakeside deck and hot tub, a private sandy beach, a boathouse, and a poolside cabana.

Folding Glass Door System
A screened porch overlooking the lake offers a seamless indoor-outdoor connection thanks to the five-panel NanaWall folding glass door. This disappearing glass blurs the boundaries between the main living spaces and the screened porch. Panoramic lake views create a relaxed, lake-life vibe. The folding glass door system was fully customized with white powder coating and divided lites that match the existing windows, creating a seamless connection with the home’s New England charm.
A 15-foot wide NanaWall system opens the great room to a spacious covered porch with comfortable outdoor furnishings and pull-down screens to keep the bugs at bay. This allows the family to enjoy an indoor-outdoor living experience with a breezy lake house feel, minus the bugs, for an idyllic setup during the summer months.
