424 Strickland Rd, Fort Fairfield, ME 04742

An impressive 1917 farmhouse stands proudly among rolling fields in the Fort Fairfield countryside on 1.48 acres, a distinctly rural setting with expansive views. Apples and cranberries abound in the yard with lots of space to add a garden or other outdoor amenities. A thorough and thoughtful COMPLETE renovation took the home down to the studs. All operating systems have been updated, exterior refurbished, and interior modernized, while retaining the character and proportions of a true farmhouse. A most impressive feature is the huge attached garage with direct access to both the main floor of the house and the full basement. That's 1,476 sq ft of garage with three large overhead doors; room for vehicles, equipment, workshop, and will even accommodate a camper! The stately farmhouse has 3,144 sq ft of living space. Though marketed as a 3-bed home based on available septic information, the layout provides considerably more finished space and flexibility than that designation suggests. A new kitchen is a bright and modern centerpiece to the first floor. The stunning focal point of the large formal living room is a beautiful hearth crafted from smooth stones carefully hand-picked for the fireplace over 100 years ago. A large bedroom on the first floor provides direct access to a full bath/laundry room and lots of closet space. A sprawling 2nd floor primary suite is 450 sq ft, lots of windows, closet space, and full bath with new custom tile shower. Another large upstairs bedroom adjoins a den/rec room. The 2nd floor includes a bonus room designed to accommodate another full bath with plumbing possibilities already considered. This could also be used as an office or other living space. A classic Northern Maine farmhouse that's been updated to modern standards. A remarkable amount of living space with an exceptionally large garage.
