There is something reassuring and timeless about an old Cape in Maine that faces the morning sun, sits perched next to mature trees, and overlooks a gently sloping 1.4 acres of open fields, offering views layered in green and gold. The house dates to the 19th century, though nearly every working part of it has been renewed. The restoration preserved the house's original simplicity and character while adding the comfort expected of a contemporary home. The result is an old Maine house that works just as well by today's standards. A traditional exterior gives way to more open rooms, with easy movement between the kitchen, dining, and living spaces. Upstairs, the primary bedroom feels spacious, with a cathedral ceiling and an en-suite bath that looks out over the fields below. The restoration itself was comprehensive: new roofing and siding, windows, electrical and plumbing systems, floors, bathrooms, kitchen, interior finishes, and doors. The work is substantial, but many of the original details remain exposed and make this home magazine-worthy. The generous lot offers a rare opportunity: you could build a separate dwelling unit, barn, or residence, and it sits just 1 mile from downtown Camden, with sidewalks leading to the harbor, shops, and restaurants.
This charming 19th Century Cape has all the benefits of new construction. The home sits on a 1.4 acre lot graced by a 200 year old oak tree. Walking distance to downtown Camden and minutes from Camden National Park, this beautiful Cape was fully restored with extensive new landscaping. Cathedral ceilings in the Master Bedroom with en-suite bathroom is a stand out along with the open floor plan living. Top of the line heating installed by PJ Wiley, new electrical, plumbing, roof, siding, bathrooms, floors, kitchen, paint, doors and Pella windows. This is a one of a kind home that was thoughtfully restored to keep the integrity of the original Cape but updated with modern amenities.

Great opportunity to take this 1840's Cape and finish it to your specs. House sits on 1.47 open acres and has been totally gutted with the exception of two second floor bedrooms which retain the original plaster. Sills have been replaced, no electric no systems. Two car detached garage. Take it from here. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..
