5 Waterfront and Scenic Retreats Across New England
Across New England, a quintet of residences shows how water and horizon lines shape daily life, from Lake Winnipesaukee’s coveted shore to Portland’s Old Port waterfront. Each home balances character with thoughtful updates, whether expressed through a renovated timber frame, a storied shipbuilder’s residence above Noank, or a refined urban loft. Views take center stage—sunsets toward Gunstock Mountain, the Connecticut River Valley and Vermont’s Green Mountains—while decks, shoreline frontage, and flexible layouts invite hosting, retreat, and multigenerational ease.
