Consider this a love letter from an old Maine house to its next steward. For more than 100 years, 75 Main Street has stood in the village of Tenants Harbor, watching life come and go through windows that have looked out on many of the same things for generations. The harbor. The village. Neighbors passing by. Seasons arriving, leaving and inevitably coming around again. There is something reassuring about a place that has been here awhile. This Maine farmhouse isn't perfect, and that may be one of the nicest things about it. Like an heirloom quilt, there are a few frayed edges, but the important things remain: warmth, shelter, simplicity and that feeling of finding your place. In high summer, it is especially easy to understand. Windows open. Bare feet on old floors. Morning light. The quiet that settles over a Maine evening when the light seems to linger longer than it should. To spend a summer afternoon doing very little and consider it a day well spent. But this is not simply a summer house. When the windows close and the days shorten, it remains what it has always been: home. A place for the first cool mornings of fall, winter evenings tucked inside while the village grows quiet, and those earliest spring days when the windows can finally be opened again. The seasons change here, but the essential things do not. There is work still to do, but much of the heavy lifting has already been done. What remains is an invitation to care for this heirloom, make it your own and become part of a story that began long before you arrived. Because a house doesn't need to be perfect to be wonderful. Simplicity isn't something lacking here. It is part of the luxury. This house has been rooted in Tenants Harbor for more than a century. It has known a lot of summers. A lot of winters, too. First days of spring, late autumn afternoons, ordinary Tuesdays and holidays. It has known people coming home, people setting out, and all the quiet days in between that make up a life.

This 1871 Farmhouse is located in the picture perfect mid-coast town of St. George. Close to the General Store, next door to the Library and School. The backside of this property abuts the Library land, with wonderful walking trails and has 30' of waterfront on the Ripley Creek marsh. The pullout just down the road is a great place to throw a few kayaks in the water to enjoy a summer evening. It even has a glimpse of the harbor from the front porch! There is a surprisingly private back yard, and wonderful perennial gardens that surround the home. This 4 bedroom 1 bath home holds so much of the original character throughout with custom moldings/trim, and accented with original wallpaper. Basement was encapsulated with spray foam, insulation blown in walls/attic. And a roof that is only 5 years old. Call today to look at the possibilities in this little treasure!
