While preserving the timelessness and the aesthetics of the old farmhouse, this 1800's home with 4 bedrooms and 3 baths has had numerous improvements and renovations over the past two years. All of the rooms have been lovingly restored, but the main renovation project was redesigning two floors of the attached barn to create a fabulous open kitchen, dining, and living area. The spectacular and dramatic view of East Penobscot Bay and the islands beyond Bakeman Beach was achieved by installing a wall of south-facing windows. The third floor of the barn was removed to create a cathedral ceiling with skylights and to expose the original hand-hewn beams. A commercial gas Ilves range and Big Chill refrigerator beautifully compliment the vintage pantry, cupboards, cabinets, and island with Silestone countertops. A wood burning insert was installed in the old fireplace with a hand-hewn beam for a mantel and a surround of vintage tiles. Connecting the old with the new is an outdoor patio, raised vegetable gardens, and attached green house built with recycled materials and windows.

Sited on 15+/- acres, this 1800's farmhouse with 5 bedrooms and 2 baths sits at the edge of an open field dotted with old apple trees, rasberries, rosa rugosa and overlooks Bakeman Beach and the islands beyond. Reminiscent of years gone-by and Wyeth-like in feel, the beautiful natural light streaming through its windows, high ceilings, and welcome feel are charming features. In need of preservation and TLC, this lovely old home is looking for a new lease on life.
