Property Description
This circa-1840s farmhouse has been lovingly cared for by the same owner for more than 50 years. This classic 3-4 bedroom/2 bath cape-style home sits on 8 peaceful acres of lawn, gardens, and open field. You'll find original features throughout the home from pumpkin pine floors and antique hardware to a folk-art floor painting, custom built-ins and more. The first floor includes a library/office, kitchen, dining room, and living room with a stone fireplace built from unique stones found on the property. A downstairs bedroom, full bath and laundry offer opportunity for one-level living if desired. Upstairs, you'll find three more bedrooms, a full bath and large walk-in storage closet. Enjoy quiet afternoons on the screen porch overlooking the private back yard with white lilacs planted in 1880, fruit trees, flower gardens and stone walls. Majestic shade trees in the front yard will help keep you cool all summer long. Modern features include an automatic generator, updated propane heating, internet access, and attached garage with automatic door openers. Just across the road, a large historic wood-pegged barn provides plenty of storage for all your toys or equipment and great potential for farming. There's so much opportunity here – from farming and outdoor recreation to work-from-home or an easy commute, or a retirement that will bring you back to the days of a simpler life. Located between Central Maine and the Mid-coast, it's an easy thirty-minute drive to Waterville, Augusta or Belfast and Bangor is just over an hour away. Enjoy year-round recreation at Lake St. George State Park, Just 3 miles away and on Sheepscot Lake via the state-owned boat launch nearby. Come make this beautiful home and community your own!
