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 soulfrom 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 levelonce home to horseswelcomes 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 Hilla truly unique in-town compound.
