11 Highland StreetMeredith, NH 03253Price: $895,000

Built in 1881 by textile magnate Samuel Hodgson as a private carriage barn and stable, this rare property was thoughtfully transformed in the late 1970s by the Beede family into a warm, character-rich residence. While updated for modern living, it retains its architectural soul-from the original granite and brick foundation and wide plank floors to soaring ceilings and period details like diagonal gable brackets, decorative medallions, and a roof ventilator crowned by Hodgson's original “H” weathervane. Inside, a flexible layout awaits: the former hayloft now offers three bedrooms, a full bath, and a quiet sitting area, while the main level-once home to horses-welcomes you into a bright, open living and dining space with windows framing views of Meredith Bay. A cozy guest suite occupies the reimagined tack room. Below, the walkout basement still reveals the original stables, with 10-foot ceilings, large windows, and rare lake views. Moments from the Lake Winnipesaukee boat ramp and the heart of Meredith's vibrant village, this home includes a view easement, attached garage, and the option to purchase the adjacent historic residence at 12 Highland Street. Together, they form The Beede Estate on Granite Hill-a truly unique in-town compound. Whether enjoyed on its own or as part of a larger legacy property, 11 Highland Street is a home with history, heart, and an unmatched sense of place.
