Single Family Residence in Tuftonboro, NH

Nestled on 20.5 acres with low taxes, this colonial-style Saltbox is a stunning example of traditional New England craftsmanship blended with modern efficiency. Constructed with hemlock post and beam and joined using classic oak pegs, the timber frame is enveloped in high-performance structural insulated panels for year-round comfort and energy savings. At the heart of the home stands a striking 30-foot free-standing center chimney, built of stone and housing a beautiful soapstone wood stove—perfect for cozy winter nights. Sunlight streams through Andersen windows, thoughtfully placed to maximize passive solar gain and frame tranquil views of the surrounding acreage. The open-concept floor plan offers a warm and inviting atmosphere, ideal for both relaxed everyday living and entertaining. Outside enjoy the outdoors with a screened porch and composite deck. This home was carefully designed for the energy-conscious owner seeking a peaceful lifestyle near the big lake.
