96 Church Street Laconia Set on a 0.37 acre corner lot with direct water frontage and paddle-out access to Lake Opechee, 96 Church Street is a grand 1884 Victorian at a scale that rarely comes to market: 5,719 finished square feet across three stories, 19 rooms, 13 bedrooms, and 5 full baths plus a half. The versatile, congregate style layout is city-approved for 14 units and currently operates as a rooming house an income property in place on day one, or the canvas for something else entirely. Inside, the period details are intact and cared for. Ornate woodwork runs through the main rooms, stained glass catches the afternoon light, and classic millwork gives every floor the kind of character that can't be rebuilt. Water views carry through much of the house, and the mansard roofline is the real thing. The outdoor living is what sets it apart. A dock and waterfront patio with fire pit sit right on the water kayak-ready for Lake Opechee adventures, with a paddleboard launch just as easy. Up top, a cupola and crow's nest deliver a belvedere view over the water and town, an elevated perch you won't find anywhere else on the street. Down in the yard, a treehouse brings a note of whimsy to the property. Mechanically, the heavy lifting is done: dual gas heating systems and all-new radiators went in four months ago, the domestic hot water is roughly six months old, and the house runs on city water, city sewer, breakers, and a camera system already in place. Roughly 3,300 square feet of paved parking serves the full building a rarity at this size this close to the center of town. Municipal services are right nearby and downtown Laconia is an easy walk: a deep bench of restaurants, entertainment, shopping, and boutique wellness, with the full run of Lakes Region recreation just beyond. Historic architecture, real square footage, and waterfront living, all in one remarkable property.
