- Description: Owned continuously for over 115 years and offered together for the first time, the Beede Estate on Granite Hill presents a rare chance to own an iconic in-town estate in the heart of Meredith- moments from Lake Winnipesaukee and Main Street. Whether you envision a private compound or one-of-a-kind investment, this storied property blends historic architecture with unbeatable proximity. 12 Highland Street, built in 1867 by civic leader John Way Beede, is a stately Italianate home featuring a central cupola, corbelled chimneys, and a bracketed front veranda. Inside are original details including intricate millwork, high ceilings, and hardwood floors. The layout offers the option for first-floor living, flexible upstairs space, and an in-law suite above the garage. Fenced gardens, a spacious deck, and gazebo create a quiet retreat on an unusually large lot in Meredith village. Across the street, 11 Highland Street-the estate's former Carriage House-was transformed from an 1881 carriage barn, built by textile magnate Samuel Hodgson, into a one-of-a-kind home. Thoughtfully converted in the 1970s, it retains Victorian charm, wide plank floors, decorative brackets, and Hodgson's original H weathervane.The open main level offers bay views, with three bedrooms above and original stall features below. Each home is available separately and features town water/sewer, nearby to public docks, restaurants, and year-round village charm. A legacy property with story, soul, and versatility.
