308 Main ST Thomaston, ME 04861

308 Main Street is one of those rare homes where aesthetic aligns exactly with the very way it feels to live there. Elegant in a purposeful, graceful, understated way typical of Federal homes, this property has been painstakingly maintained and updated with great care taken to preserve the historical and architecturally important elements of this sophisticated home. In 1840, Thomaston was home to two of the Nation's seven millionaires, Ship Captains who built grand homes here and roughly 50 years later, the original owners of 308 Main Street followed suit. The property sits on almost 2 in-town acres and is located in the Historic District which encompasses the lush Mall area of the village as well as the quaint, walkable Main Street complete with shops, cafes, restaurants, galleries and an incredible family-owned grocery. The house has 4 bedrooms (3 ensuite) and 3 bathrooms; there is a private suite above the kitchen perfect for a home office or guest suite.A lovely dining room sits directly off the newly renovated kitchen. Keeping the original soapstone sink as the design anchor, a Viking refrigerator and dishwasher were added as well as a rare and gourmet Heartland gas range. A custom, solid maple center island makes the kitchen warm and functional. Two sitting rooms flank the front entrance – one cozier and one slightly more formal with a beautiful fireplace. The yard is equally as gracious with a sweet, grassy stream running along the back of the property. A flagstone patio sits at the back of the house and the original stone retaining wall and stair leads to a courtyard, made private by antique lilac bushes. Just beyond find fruit trees, grape vines, gardens and mature trees.You can walk to the Public Landing (or drive for those wanting to launch a kayak or a paddle board).This is where the St. George River begins, a bustling saltwater-way running between the St. George and Cushing Peninsulas before it empties out in Port Clyde into Muscongus and Penobscot Bays
