Discover timeless Aroostook County charm at 808 Madawaska Rd, an 1888 farmhouse set on a full acre with gorgeous, panoramic northern Maine views in every direction and just 6 miles to the heart of Caribou. This spacious home offers six bedrooms and two baths and blends original character with thoughtful modern updates, including a new metal roof (2020), a new forced hot air furnace, hot water heater and oil tank (2022), and extensive electrical upgrades with a new entrance/service completed in 2023. The main level is bright and highly functional with a first-floor bedroom and convenient first-floor laundry, a lovely dining room anchored by a fireplace, and an eat-in kitchen boasting exceptional pantry and storage space--perfect for everyday family life and entertaining. While some second-floor bedrooms need cosmetic updating, they present a wonderful opportunity to personalize and restore historic details, and nearly every room enjoys expansive views of surrounding farm fields and natural landscape. Outdoors, the property includes productive apple trees and raspberry bushes, ample yard space, and an oversized detached two-car garage/storage barn, making this a rare offering for buyers seeking comfortable country living with modern systems, generous storage, and easy access to town amenities.
Set in the heart of Aroostook County, the scenic beauty driving to this house is breath-taking with blooming potatoes and grains - such quiet beauty! These sellers live on the 1st floor of this home. Over 1300 sqft on the 1st floor alone! Traditional eat-in farmhouse kitchen, lots of cupboards and a pantry that provides even more cabinets & counters space. The living room offers a coal-burning stove, making the whole house toasty. 3 Bedrooms, the laundry room, a full bath, and a 3-season finished porch & large deck round out the 1st floor spaces. If you stopped right there, that's larger than most homes! You could amble out to the raspberry patches (two!) or tend the easy-to-maintain perennial garden. Maybe tinker in the large two-car garage! But no! There is a whole upstairs that offers 3-4 more bedrooms and a bathroom. The interior has had a few updates and the metal roof is new in 2020! For under $65/sqft, you'll have plenty of flexibilty to update as you go! Don't miss this really special farmhouse.
