About this home
Fantastic opportunity to purchase what was once the original workshop of Moses Gerrish Farmer, moved to its current location in the late 1800s and then expanded. Ready for a new owner to bring it back to its former glory and start a new chapter in its history. This charming home in the center of Eliot features five bedrooms with options for work from home or flex spaces, wood floors, high ceilings, and an impressive staircase. An abundance of room for plants, pets, and yard games within the spacious fenced yard. Eliot is a small town in the highly desirable RSU 35 School District. Its parks, playgrounds, tennis/pickleball courts, boat launch, and fields contribute to its great feeling of community. Easy access to Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, downtown Portsmouth, and Kittery Foreside. Property is being sold ''as-is. ''
