Historic cape set back on open acreage, Stocking Hill Farm in Portland. Built in 1755, this well-preserved piece of antiquity is ready for its new homeowners. Much of the flooring throughout the house features wide pine floorboards, maintaining the charm that characterizes the property. The expansive fireplace wall is the centerpiece of the family room/library - truly one of the most enchanting rooms of the home. Off the main living area is a formal living room that features tall windows and a second fireplace, which is surrounded by original 18th century paneling. Dine with elegance in the formal dining room, dressed with deep blue walls, a built-in corner cupboard, and a third fireplace. The four bedrooms on the upper level are lovely. The beautiful three-season porch that extends on the side of the house is one of the most breathtaking spaces with its pastoral views of the property. The property itself is expansive, an impressive 2.7 acres, a size that offers entertainment throughout the seasons, including stunning gardens and seating areas for relaxing outdoors. Two barns, a gardener's shed and a multi-bay garage offer terrific potential for an aspiring farmer’s vegetable gardens, a horse or two, and small farm animals.
