Nestled in a serene setting with picturesque views of both the Eastern and Kennebec Rivers, this beautifully preserved historical home offers timeless character paired with modern comfort. With 2-3 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms, this unique property is perfect as a year-round residence or a tranquil retreat. Inside, you'll find custom cabinetry, updated appliances, and a soapstone woodstove that warms the home. A double slipper copper bathtub adds a touch of luxury to the beautifully appointed bath. The newer slate roof speaks to the thoughtful maintenance of the property, while a recently installed septic system ensures peace of mind. Beyond the main living areas, the home features a finished bonus space—perfect for a home office, studio, or small business setup—as well as a charming loft that can easily serve as a third bedroom or creative retreat. Step outside to a private, wildlife-rich backyard, ideal for nature lovers and quiet evenings under the stars. With expansive river views, this property is a rare gem that combines history, beauty, and practical updates in a truly one-of-a-kind setting.
Lovingly rebuilt and restored with many upgrades and unique touches throughout this storybook cottage. Beautiful pine floors everywhere in this open concept home. A wall of windows in the dining space with French Doors out the side yard. Lovely views of the Eastern and Kennebec Rivers out to Swan Island. Unique features such as an enormous double slipper copper tub in the first floor bath, a fabulous antique wood front door and a combination of wood and plaster walls. In the kitchen, there are zinc counters, a vintage stainless kitchen sink, open wood shelving and a large walk-in pantry. Most everything has been renovated in the last 10 years including the Andersen 400 series windows, a stone lined electric hot water heater and two wood stoves. Step out from the kitchen to access the studio space with sleeping loft style bedroom above or the large covered and open deck with a very private backyard. A short walk to Green Point and its walking trails along the rivers. Lovely sunset views over the Eastern and Kennebec Rivers from almost every window. Just a charming escape from the everyday.
