Historic 1820 farmhouse on 4.86 +/- serene acres -- a rare blend of original charm and modern upgrades. The main house offers 4 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, many original built-ins, a cozy living room with fireplace, a bright eat-in kitchen, and a cozy dedicated library. Unique period details include an old pipe organ and a secret room tucked behind a bookshelf. Major recent mechanical and structural updates provide peace of mind: newer roof, updated high-efficiency heating system, new exterior paint, rebuilt chimneys, and a new foundation creating an extensive dry basement ready for storage or future finishing. Attached but private, a 1 bed / 1 bath apartment with its own entrance is ideal as an in-law suite or rent it out for supplemental income. Outside, the property is perfect for homesteading -- open fields, apple trees, and a farm pond that's beautiful year-round and great for ice skating in winter. A special opportunity for buyers who want historic character plus modern reliability and income or homesteading potential all nestled close to downtown Farmington and just a short drive to Rangeley or Carrabassett Valley to enjoy the mountains.
