Step back in time with this beautifully restored 1800s farmhouse, where historic charm meets modern living. The classic farmer's porch is a warm welcome and invites one to sit and stay a while. Just off the porch, a tastefully renovated kitchen ushers you in, with beautiful marble counters, a classic apron sink, custom cabinetry and open walnut shelving. A butler's pantry is just off the kitchen - perfect for entertainment prep with its abundant storage and produce sink. The first floor also includes a separate dining area, cozy den with a wood stove - perfect for chilly Maine evenings, and a spacious flex room with many possibilities such as a first-floor bedroom or game room. In addition the first level offers the convenience of a full bath with laundry. Upstairs, the second level includes three bedrooms (one currently transformed into a fabulous walk-in closet and dressing room), a full bathroom, and a separate office with its own staircase leading back down to the kitchen. Original wide pine and painted floors flow throughout the home. The modernized attached barn boasts a heated workshop, along with a hayloft and a lower level. Outside, a sunny back deck overlooks perennial gardens filled with beautiful flowers and berry plants, ensuring colorful blooms all season long. A forested buffer in the backyard provides a sense of privacy, yet the home is just a short walk to Standish Village and only 20 miles from downtown Portland. This home is a true gem!

Welcome to the property known as the 'BERD House, ' named for its location on scenic Bonny Eagle Road, where you will find the best of all worlds: 2,000 square feet of antique charm with modern functionality situated in a relaxing country setting. Entering via the farmer's porch, you will see a brand new custom kitchen with walnut open shelving, marble countertops, and an apron sink. The butler's pantry, with its produce sink and plentiful storage, is the perfect spot for preparing to entertain family and friends. The first floor's open layout offers a cozy den with a wood stove, a flexible living space with endless potential to be anything from a game room to a bedroom, a full bath with laundry, and a full dining room. The second floor offers 3 large bedrooms, an office accessible from its own stairwell, and a full bath. You'll find original painted wood and natural wide pine floors, as well a closet in each room. Attached to the main house, a charming barn houses a heated workshop previously used to handcraft fine furniture. As you ascend to the hay loft, or drop down into the barn's lower level, you will feel nostalgic for an era when animals roamed the yard and 'work from home' wasn't a perk, but a way of life. Beyond the barn, the sellers have taken great care to maintain perennial flowers, berries and herbs, and four raised vegetable garden beds. In addition to the barn, an oversized shed offers storage. A forested buffer in the backyard provides a sense of a privacy while having all the benefits of being a mile from town amenities and only 20 miles from downtown Portland. Come enjoy the timeless charm at the BERD House, and feel the comfort in knowing that this home has been loved for years and is ready for many more to come.
