Welcome to this beautifully preserved Cape-Cod style home nestled on a tranquil 3 acre parcel in Searsmont, known affectionately as the friendliest little town in Maine. This quintessential Maine home offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of history, as it was once home to Josephine Knight during the years she penned her published diary. Steeped in character and timeless charm, this home features classic architectural details, including exposed beams in the cozy living room and wide plank wood floors throughout. The current owner lovingly cultivated this property as a flower growing business, specializing in arrangements for weddings and local businesses. The fertile 3 acre lot offers ample space to continue and expand your own horticultural dreams. Showings begin 4/29 and 4/30. All offers due 5/1 by 12pm.
