Warm Country Living in this authentic Orrington Cape, built in 1820 and available for the first time in generations. Six plus or minus acres of primarily field, a farm pond, an apple orchard, and birds of all kinds, this is a sanctuary on earth. If you don't like authentic farmhouse style, this will not be your place, but to those who like this historic charm, it is heaven on earth. The sun in the early morning in your open kitchen, warmed with a Vermont Castings red enamel gas-fired stove, you will want to gather around the charming table and share your story! The open floor plan connects you with the living room with wide pine board flooring, gas logs in an open fireplace, an antique chandelier that allows for formal dining, and an open cupboard to store and display your treasures. The front rooms also have the original floors. There is a front entry with a closet, half bath, ad a laundry room to complete the first floor. Upstairs you will find four bedrooms, a pass-through walk-in closet, and a full bath. Many updates include the roof. Come on over and take a walk back in time, enjoy the early morning sun on the porch overlooking the pond, where the sparrows dip and soar, to the fields beyond where the deer frolic. Enjoy the late afternoon on the back deck overlooking the apple orchard and dream about the days ahead!
