6 Lakeview Dr Meredith, NH 03253

A classic New Hampshire waterfront retreat overlooking the calm waters of Center Harbor, with 100-year-old majestic red oak trees that grace the 185 feet of shoreline on Lake Winnipesaukee; highlighted by a timber frame 2-bay boat house and a grandfathered concrete pier from a prior era when the steamship came up from Alton Bay, as well as a sandy walk-in beach and mooring. This one-of-a-kind craftsman home completed in 2010, and nestled in a grove of black walnut trees, offers 6,700 square feet of living space. Quality is evident throughout with tall wainscot, reclaimed oak floors, custom cabinetry, 9 ft ceilings and plaster walls. As you walk through the house on all three floors, there is a feeling of spaciousness yet plenty of cozy nooks. There are 4 en suite bedrooms, including two master suites, a timber frame, fully equipped one-bedroom loft apartment with private entrance; and a finished walk-out lower level with bedroom, home theater, kitchen and bunk room. The kitchen, which is open to a large dining area, is designed for optimal cooking with well-appointed appliances, custom distressed cabinetry and a large center island with seating, prep sink, wine cooler and wine rack. A three-story stone fireplace is the focal point of the spacious living room with beamed ceiling and pillars accented by a wall of windows and outside access. Extensive outdoor entertaining space includes an upper terrace with gas grill, and a lower terrace with a fire pit, each with peaceful views of the lake. The large pier provides ample seating to watch family and friends enjoying the lake kayaking, water skiing, paddle boarding or a spin on a jet ski or the July 4th fireworks in Center Harbor. A separate swim dock makes for easy access to the water and fishing. Sited on 1.01 acres on a private drive, the property is an easy walk to Center Harbor restaurants, stores and ice cream parlor.
