About this home

Must see 2 BR 1.5 BA in Richmond. Once used as a barn for a dairy farm, this quaint saltbox was beautifully converted into a home in the 90s. With southern exposure and large skylights, this home is bathed in natural light all year long which makes the wide plank wood floors and quaint built-ins seem all the more cozy. Watch birds from the large kitchen windows while cooking or doing the dishes, or entertain guests from the center island. In the cooler months, cozy up next to the woodstove in the living room and watch the snow fall from the large sliding glass doors to the back porch and scenic backyard. Situated on a 2+/- acre lot with gorgeous fields, this property is lush and perfect for gardening or simply enjoying the existing perennials and wildlife that surrounds this gorgeous homestead. Consider the potential of the shed at the side of the lot. With electricity already hooked up to this structure, find opportunity to convert this space into a workshop, studio or even an ADU with town approval. Located approximately 7 minutes from downtown Richmond and across from the Kennebec River, this beautiful property has so much to offer.

Converted from a barn in 1996, this home exudes charm, comfort and warmth. Southern light pours into the open concept kitchen/living area with its cathedral ceiling and exposed timbers. Refinished wide plank pine boards throughout the first and second floors honor its modest beginning. A woodstove warms the living room. Sliders open to the west onto a screened porch overlooking the generously fenced-in garden area and dog yard. Just a stone's throw away is the ''blacksmith's shop'' perfect for a couple of goats, lamas, horses or just storing your boat, snowmobiles and toys. Pastoral meadows encircle the home and the circular driveway is lined with thoughtfully planted perennials. Whether it is baking pies in the kitchen, harvesting the excess zucchini in the summer sun or simply toasting the sunset from the porch while your animals graze nearby, this house is a home that will warm your soul. OPEN HOUSE SHOWING ONLY - Monday 3/25 from 3-6pm.

This home is the definition of "curb appeal"! It doesn't end there. Beautiful newly refinished wood floors great you in the open concept kitchen/dining area. Great concept space and work area. I can just smell the apple pies! Comfortable living room to relax after a day of gardening, or just enjoying your expertly landscaped yard. Large finished porch. The home was originally a barn converted to home in 1996. Great location close to both Richmond and Gardiner.
