Property Description
Authentic Searsmont farmhouse with loads of charm and endless potential. Perhaps the oldest home in the village (c.1830), the home feels solidly grounded on an elevated site with gorgeous sloping lawn & garden areas full of magical nooks and crannies. Handsome stone steps and walls meander through the yard and barn areas dotted with lush, mature plantings and vibrant, perennial flower beds. Inside, the home offers multiple living & dining areas, kitchen with custom build ins & antique, wood cook stove, 3 - 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, office, and laundry room. Painted wide pine & hardwood floors throughout and gorgeous fluted wood window trim & molding add much character and period detail. Main entry hallway walls, stairwell, and 2nd floor hall / landing features historic, hand painted stenciling by Moses Eaton from the 1830's documented by the Maine State Museum--simply a treasure and a reminder of the home's almost 200 year lifespan. The attached post & beam barn offers endless opportunities for specialized storage, animals, creative / workshop space, or even a creative summer dining or living area (think string lights and rustic Maine country decor...). Newer, 2-car detached and over-sized garage offers convenience and functionality. Access to the picturesque St. George river for swimming or recreation just steps away. The village of Searsmont is a peaceful, rural community within a short distance to the coastal towns of Belfast and Camden and convenient to many local lakes, mountains, and trails. Reinvent this historic homestead, offered for sale for the first time in almost 100 years, and put down some roots.
