THE LAKE COTTAGE


This charming New Hampshire lake cottage was a recent commission as a birthday gift for a client's father. This beautiful home is one of the oldest on the lake - my client's great-grandfather bought it around 1900. He sold the property next door for $1.00 after he lost it in a card game! If you'd like for me to capture a special family home for you, don't hesitate to contact me here.

Lost it in a card game? How sad.
The house has wonderful windows. It must be great in person.
