Constructed in 1868, this distinctive building served as a church vestry before its acquisition by the current owner in 1988. Since that time, it has been transformed into a delightful and comfortable home featuring two bedrooms, two bathrooms, an additional office or sleeping area, a living room, and a kitchen. The seller's handcrafted stained-glass windows pay homage to the building's historical significance. Nestled in the historic district of picturesque Cornish, Maine, just a short walk from dining venues, the village park, library, and superb antique shops, this property offers versatility as a permanent home, a tranquil retreat from city life, or an investment to share with others. Cornish's prime location allows for easy enjoyment of Portland and the coast one day, and Conway with the White Mountains the next. The region boasts exceptional year-round outdoor activities, from fishing to skiing, and provides all essential services locally, including healthcare and a pharmacy. Bring your creativity and vision to this distinctive diamond in the rough in Southern Maine; the journey will be worthwhile! onsite parking will accommodate two compact cars or one full-size SUV/truck
