About this home
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.
