Renovated circa-1875 farmhouse offering 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths, set on 1.8 acres of beautifully maintained, level land in a peaceful rural Charleston setting just 35-40 minutes from Bangor with well-kept winter roads for an easy commute. This home blends historic charm with thoughtful updates, including improvements to electrical and plumbing systems and solid foundations throughout. Inside, you'll find a warm and inviting atmosphere centered around a large brick masonry hearth with a wood stove, providing efficient, cost-effective heating--typically just 4-5 cords of wood and under 100 gallons of oil annually. Ceramic tile flooring enhances the bathrooms and entry areas, adding both durability and style. Large Laundry room with walk-in closet and built-in storage. The property is exceptionally well-equipped for both lifestyle and function, featuring an attached two-car garage with woodshed and one heated bay, plus a separate detached two-car garage deep enough for four cars, workshop space, or recreational use. The grounds are a true highlight, offering a rare combination of beauty and productivity. Enjoy established perennial flower gardens, a dedicated vegetable garden area, highbush blueberries, raspberries, and a unique collection of standard and rare grafted apple trees that produce abundantly. Outdoor living is equally impressive with a circular paved driveway accented by a central brick planter, and a spacious stone patio with a built-in outdoor fireplace--perfect for entertaining or relaxing evenings. A durable metal roof on the main house adds long-term value and peace of mind. This property is ideal for those seeking a country lifestyle with modern conveniences, offering space, efficiency, and a self-sustaining feel while remaining within easy reach of Bangor.
