About this home

A timeless New England farmhouse—solidly built at the turn of the 20th century and updated with modern appeal! This 5-bedroom home is full of character, with charming built-ins, warm wood details, and thoughtful upgrades throughout. The main floor den offers the flexibility to convert into a first-floor bedroom if needed. However, please note the septic design allows for five bedrooms total, so one of the current upstairs bedrooms would need to be used as an office, yoga room, or bonus space to remain in compliance. You'll love the spacious, sun-filled kitchen and dining area—ideal for hosting family or friends. A huge heated mudroom is a welcome feature during Maine winters, and a large walk-in pantry plus a versatile bonus room add to the functional layout. Multiple heat sources—hot water baseboard, a cozy wood stove, and a heat pump—keep the home comfortable year-round. Set on 82 beautiful acres with two large sheds, this property offers the perfect blend of privacy and convenience, just minutes from town. A true local landmark, this is your chance to own a piece of history—built to last and ready for your next chapter.
