This solid 1850's cape is conveniently located just minutes from downtown Searsmont on the scenic Appleton Ridge Road, offering sweeping views of the hills of Liberty in the distance. You will find a large cozy kitchen with pellet stove, laundry room, dining room, spacious living room, 2 bedrooms, and bathroom with jetted tub on the first floor allowing for one floor living if so desired. The loft space on the second floor offers another bedroom, sitting area, and bathroom. There is also a large unfinished space on the second floor currently used as storage that could greatly expand the living area on the second floor. Newer roofing, siding, and windows makes for little outside maintenance and will allow time for new owners to put their own finishing touches on the interior.
