Tucked into the trees at the quiet north end of Black Brook Road, this exceptional Meredith waterfront retreat offers remarkable privacy, distinctive architecture and a setting created around enjoying the lake with family and friends. Set on 1.23 secluded acres along a quiet, non-thru section of road, the property enjoys open-water and distant mountain views, and multiple indoor and outdoor gathering spaces. The property began as a small 1955 lake cabin and was later transformed and renovated with a substantial post-and-beam addition begun in 2014 and completed in 2018. Today, soaring exposed timbers, vaulted wood ceilings, Brazilian koa flooring, custom millwork and stonework, arched windows and a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace define the home. The custom kitchen pays a thoughtful tribute to the original cabin, blending rustic character with refined craftsmanship through soapstone counters, wood cabinetry, a large island, commercial-style gas range and adjoining dining area. Above all, this home was built for entertaining. Expansive cedar decking provides multiple areas for dining, grilling and relaxing, complemented by a stone outdoor cooking station, hot tub, screened porch, level lawn and irrigation. The seller has intentionally maintained shoreline tree cover for added privacy from the lake, while a recent arborist evaluation identified the potential to significantly open and enhance the view through selective tree work. Terraced decks and stairs wind through granite toward a perched sandy beach with fire-pit seating, kayak storage and a dock with covered boat lift. An ideal place for kids to swim safely. Upstairs, the primary suite offers vaulted timbers, stone accents, an arched window, sitting area and soaking-tub. The finished walkout in-law lower level adds guest flexibility with a billiards room, living/dining area, kitchenette, bedroom and 3/4 bath. Multiple garages, a shed and paved parking complete this distinctive four-season waterfront retreat.
