This is the one you have been waiting for. Wake up to sweeping, unobstructed views of Meredith Bay and the surrounding mountains from this exceptional home in the highly sought after Lake Ridge private community. Perfectly positioned at the end of a quiet cul de sac and abutting protected forest land, this property offers rare privacy just minutes from downtown Meredith. The home’s thoughtful floor plan and incredible finish work truly set it apart. Every room features a custom wall or ceiling detail rarely found in most homes. The stunning great room showcases exposed beams and a dramatic two story fireplace framing the breathtaking views. The chef’s kitchen is a showstopper featuring a Wolf 8 burner gas range with double ovens, leathered granite countertops, an oversized island designed for gathering and entertaining, and a spacious walk in pantry. The primary first floor suite offers its own fireplace, bay views, two walk in closets, and a spa like bath. Upstairs includes three large bedrooms plus a spacious bunk or recreation room. The walk out lower level with soaring ceilings is pre plumbed for a future bath and bar will feel like a true lower level of living space. Additional highlights include a three car garage, oversized mudroom, farmer’s porch with arched entry, and town water and sewer. Lake Ridge amenities include a pool, playground, day dock on Lake Winnipesaukee, kayak racks, and easy access to downtown Meredith and snowmobile trails. Watch the Fourth of July fireworks over the bay, enjoy pond hockey and ice fishing in winter, and take in the spectacular fall foliage from the privacy of home.
