Lake Ridge on Meredith Bay captures what makes New Hampshire's Lakes Region magic: summer days on Lake Winnipesaukee, sunsets over the White Mountains and Meredith's shops, restaurants and marinas just minutes away. Explore the islands by boat, then come home to dinner by the fire. Built in 2015 by JC Hayes Construction, this home blends post-and-beam character with refined modern finishes and comes with its own assigned boat slip (No. 3, for a boat up to 30') at the community docks on Meredith Bay. The view draws you through a two-story wall of windows in the great room, framed by timber beams and a cable-rail balcony. White oak floors run throughout the main level. The kitchen has custom Shiloh cabinetry, a large marble island with seating, a gas range, a wine fridge and a seamless glass backsplash. A see-through stone gas fireplace warms both the living room and the screened porch, stretching porch season into crisp fall nights. The great room opens to a deck with lake and mountain views. The main-level primary suite has a vaulted ceiling, a walk-in closet and a bath with a double vanity and a walk-in glass shower. A half bath and laundry are also on the main level. Upstairs, an open loft leads to two bedrooms and a full bath. The walkout lower level adds a large family room and a full bath, for 2,486 finished square feet in all. Outside, the hardscaping is the showpiece: a stone patio with a towering stone fireplace, a built-in outdoor kitchen with grill, bar and speakers, landscape lighting and boulder walls framing mature plantings, an outdoor living room for long summer evenings. An oversized one-car garage fits a golf cart for easy trips to the pool and docks. Lake Ridge owners enjoy an in-ground pool, storage lockers by the waterfront, a playground and the docks. With public water and sewer, central air and Inter-Lakes schools, this move-in-ready home is built for lake life in every season. Open House Sunday November 15th from 11-1 pm.
