About this home
STEP BACK INTO HISTORY and enjoy this fully-renovated cape, believed to have been built in the early 1830s. With great views from the open deck overlooking the Saco River dam and bridge and across to the town of Buxton, this home is well located – close to major roads leading to Gorham, Portland, Waterboro, Sanford and the Maine Turnpike. Come in through the mud room and into the light and cheerful updated kitchen. From there, enter the dining room and on to the comfortable living room. There is also an office/den/family room which could be used as a guest room plus a full four-piece bath. There are two brick fireplaces which could easily be converted for gas-log inserts. Surrounding the fireplace in the living room, are hand-painted tiles, believed to be Delft from the Netherlands. Upstairs are three bedrooms, with the primary having potential for an outside deck – again overlooking the river and hearing the water rush over the dam. Nearby hiking trails lead to different kayak-canoe launch areas, as well as to the River Tap & Grill at Salmon Falls Country Club. Delayed Showings 3/20-3/21

Contractor special just steps from the Saco River. This one is not for the faint of heart and only those handy with a hammer need apply. Being sold 'as-is' and all agents and buyers MUST sign a Release of Liability Waiver before entering. Easy to show and a quick closing is desired.
