One-floor living in the Emerald Lake Village District of Hillsborough, New Hampshire. This 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath ranch was built in 2005 and sits on a 0.22-acre wooded lot off a gravel road. The deed conveys shared use of the Emerald Lake Shores beaches and community ways - lake access without the lakefront tax bill, on a pond that stays quiet by design with boats capped at 5 horsepower. The great room opens up under a cathedral ceiling - hardwood floors, ceiling fans, and windows that look straight into the tree line. It's the kind of layout where the kitchen, dining, and living space all talk to each other. The kitchen was fully remodeled in 2022: navy shaker cabinetry with white uppers, stainless steel range, microwave, dishwasher, and French-door refrigerator, a peninsula with breakfast-bar seating, and recessed lighting. The primary bedroom has a ceiling fan, closet, and its own half bath. The second hardwood-floored room works as a bedroom, an office, or both, depending on the week. The full bath has a single-sink vanity and tub/shower. Out front, a 535-square-foot deck added in 2021 runs the width of the house with black metal railings and room for a table and chairs. The walkout basement - 27'6" x 39'0", unfinished - offers laundry, workshop and storage space, and both interior and exterior stairs. Real room to grow into. The backyard is level, grassed, and framed by mature trees. Propane hot-water baseboard heat, public water through the Emerald Lake Village District, private septic serviced in July 2026. Vinyl siding, asphalt roof, parking for several vehicles. Hillsborough sits along Routes 9 and 202, about 30 minutes west of Concord, with Fox State Forest, the Franklin Pierce Homestead, and the Contoocook River close by. 7 Old Lantern Road, Hillsborough, NH 03244.
