Property Description
Built in 1850, the Daniel Melcher House at Porter's Landing in South Freeport is one of the most historically iconic homes in all of Freeport. This 3 BR, 3 BA brick antique beautiful home has just been thoroughly renovated with a new chef's kitchen by Taggart Construction featuring a BlueStar gas range and hood, custom cabinetry, all new appliances, eat in kitchen area as well as a historic brick fireplace. All windows have been replaced with Andersen Renewal divided light windows which retain the period look but have greatly improved the thermal efficiency of the home. All 3 bathrooms have recently been renovated and feature all new Grohe fixtures and lighting. The main house, barn and shed all were re-roofed in 2021.The brick exterior was recently tuck pointed and cleaned. TC Hafford systems waterproofed the basement and installed a commercial grade dehumidifier which has created a nice dry basement for storage. Extra insulation was also added to increase thermal efficiency. Moving outside, the driveway has recently been repaved and a new stone terrace area was designed and built by George Libby creating the perfect outdoor vegetable or perennial garden spaces. There is also a ''She-Shed'' on the side lawn that was also recently renovated with new windows, flooring, roof and foundation system - it's the perfect office or hobby space. The attached post and beam barn features ample storage and is also a great space for a workshop and has seasonal water views over Porter's Landing from the second floor. This home features a great location as it is a short walk from the swim dock on Cove Rd as well as the boat ramp at Porter's Landing which is just down the hill. It's also a short stroll to town for shopping, dining and all of the town festivities that Freeport is known for Located 20 minutes from Portland's Old Port and less than a half hour to the airport. Don't wait long to see this one - an excellent and rare South Freeport opportunity!
