Two deeded parcels, one sale. 63 Stone Road is a four-bedroom gambrel on 1.93 acres in Gilford, and it conveys with 57 Stone Road, a separate 2.05-acre parcel that carries its own deed, its own tax card, and its own frontage on Stone Road. That is unusual. Most listings with extra acreage are selling a bigger yard. This one comes with a second lot. The current owners bought it so no one could build behind them, and it has stayed wooded ever since. The next owner has options. Leave it exactly as it is and keep the tree line. Hold it as a separate asset and sell it on its own someday. Or find out what the town would allow back there, whether that is a second dwelling, a garage, or a barn. Buyers should verify zoning, frontage, and any development potential with the Town of Gilford. A long driveway leads in past the front yard to a two-car attached garage. Vinyl siding keeps the exterior low maintenance. Above the garage is a 576-square-foot bonus room, finished, heated, and permitted. That is genuine square footage with real headroom, and it can be an office, a studio, a guest room, or whatever the next owner needs it to be. Inside, 2,928 square feet and four bedrooms, including a spacious primary. Two full baths plus a half. Full basement. The interior was recently painted, and the upkeep shows. Ductless mini-splits were added in several rooms for year-round comfort. There is a fireplace, gas forced hot air, a wood deck off the back, and a shed. The backyard is the part people remember. Open, level, private, and framed by the woods you also happen to own. Gilford puts you close to what the Lakes Region is known for. Gunstock, the town beach on Winnipesaukee, the Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion, restaurants, and marinas are all a short drive. Laconia is minutes away and the highway is an easy run.
