This center chimney cape offers a bit of Buxton history. The Jonathan Lewis home was originally built in 1794.You don't often find this combination of history, charm and a place that just feels right. It has been the loved home of the same family for the past 62 years. It's on 6 lovely acres of open fields with mature landscaping and beautiful trees. It offers easy first floor living plus an additional bedroom and unfinished attic on the second floor. The large light filled kitchen is in the attached ell. The space and the windows on both sides of this room allows many options for renovations. There are wide pine floors throughout the main house. An automatic generator was installed 1 year ago. The beautiful Saco river is just down the road and a golf course is nearby. There is also a 2 story barn. It is a gorgeous, peaceful setting
