314 Castine RD Castine, ME 04421

NEW LISTING! Castine antique cape with 40+ acres!
This is a very charming old Castine cape, home of one of the earliest Castine citizens, James Hatch. It was a large farm and still retains 49 (per town records) acres of mixed wood with cedar and some meadow land.

The house has wonderful old fireplaces, including the beehive oven that is part of the Rumford fireplace in the living room. There are original looking features in the more formal rooms.
Big eat-in kitchen has doors out to back patio and lovely back yard. There is a peek of the Bagaduce over the fields across the street.

There is the opportunity to have an enjoyable home office space downstairs in the front library room with its own fireplace, or in the back dining room that looks out over the backyard. High speed broadband cable is ready to hook up. Automatic generator too.

Two bedrooms upstairs share a full bath. One small bedroom downstairs has a powder room nearby, and a 4th bedroom is over the garage/barn as part of the studio and it has a full bath of its own.

The barn addition has attractive, flexible, finished and heated studio space over a garage. It would not take much to turn it into an in-law apt. (permit required) The entry area between garage and kitchen is the site of a former bookshop and print shop, and a second bay of the garage could be made. Even with second bay of garage being used, you could have a great mud room/entry area. This could also serve well for an in home occupation, with its separate entrance off the driveway, and separate heating system.

The flexibility of this property to meet so many needs of the busy lives of buyers these days makes it a great value when combined with the acreage potential. This location is just a few miles from the village center and harbor front of beautiful Castine.
