$13.5M Waterfront Estate Captures the Spirit of Summer on Lake Winnipesaukee
A rare and majestic offering has surfaced along the storied shoreline of Lake Winnipesaukee—the twin-residence estate at 68 & 73 Sewall Road, now listed at $13,500,000. Blending historic provenance with contemporary elegance, this distinguished compound spans over four acres in one of New England’s most desirable enclaves. Known as “America’s Oldest Summer Resort,” Wolfeboro, New Hampshire, has long attracted those seeking lakefront tranquility with refined sophistication.
Constructed in 1903, the Cape Cod-style main house at 68 Sewall Road pays homage to early 20th-century craftsmanship while offering a fully reimagined interior for modern luxury living. Its transformation includes a chef’s kitchen redesigned by Christopher Peacock, featuring a coveted La Cornue range, Sub-Zero refrigeration, and custom cabinetry. Sweeping lake and mountain views grace the formal dining and great rooms, all facing south for optimal natural light.
“The current owner is a private investor who spared no expense in preserving the character of the home while elevating every detail,” listing agent Adam Dow of KW Coastal and Lakes & Mountains Realty told Luxury Houses Magazine. “It’s rare to find a property this refined with original bones so intact.”

Dual Residences, Singular Lifestyle
What sets this compound apart is the duality of its lifestyle offering. While 68 Sewall Road serves as the main residence, directly across the street lies 73 Sewall Road, a classic New England guest house with its own character and purpose. Set on a gently sloping 3-acre parcel, the guest house includes a car barn, tennis and basketball courts, and additional living space—ideal for extended family, guests, or private retreats.
Between the two properties, the estate boasts 11 bedrooms, 14 bathrooms, and more than 15,800 square feet of finished interior space. Custom millwork, radiant floor heating, wine storage, and a state-of-the-art elevator are just a few of the elements that speak to the thoughtful design and enduring quality embedded throughout the home.
“What makes this offering truly exceptional,” Dow explained in a recent interview, “is that it functions as both a historical landmark and a fully modern luxury estate. The boathouse alone is a masterpiece.”

A Boathouse That Tells a Story
Renovated in 2020, the estate’s two-bay boathouse is an architectural gem—a feature that zoning restrictions no longer allow in new construction. It includes an elegant upper-level suite with a bedroom, kitchenette, and radiant-heated bath, all opening to a heated deck directly over the water. With 247 feet of pristine shoreline, this vantage point captures the magic of Lake Winnipesaukee from sunrise to sunset.
Within walking distance to downtown Wolfeboro, the estate also offers convenient access to fine dining, boutique shopping, local marinas, and cultural events. The town is home to Brewster Academy and Wentworth State Historic Site, further grounding the property in a rich narrative of New Hampshire’s elite lakeside history.
“This home isn’t just a place to live—it’s a place to build legacy,” said Dow. “Whether it’s summer gatherings, year-round residence, or multi-generational ownership, there’s a soul to this property that transcends the physical.”
