About this home
This 1855 post & beam has been masterfully converted & accented with high end materials & finish. A walkout lower level is the foundation for this 3-story landmark featuring an apartment style suite w/ bedroom, bath & living. Upcycled vintage barnboard planks create ‘work of art’ staircases flanked with black steel railings throughout. Large open spaces, barn board walls & transom windows frame a stylized contemporary kitchen with industrial style range vent, Decton luxury countertop & vintage farmhouse lighting. An impressive living room is the heart of this home and provides exceptional flow for entertaining. The main floor offers a primary ensuite BR, laundry, 1/2 bath & plenty of closet space. A wraparound loft on the next level is a perfect canvas for multi person work at home, or extra sleeping space and offers a special vantage point to appreciate the barn’s original renovated features. Additional bedrooms on the 3rd level create a private sanctuary from the main living quarters. Enjoy a 4-season sunroom or capture a bird’s eye view from the maintenance free deck overlooking a wooded backyard & seasonal babbling brook. Abundant outdoor parking and detached 2-car garage awaiting exterior finish with footings in place for a lean-to shelter to store equipment. Hot days are a breeze with air-conditioning. Simple access to Hwy 95 North and South and short drive to Maine beaches, restaurants & shopping midway between Portland, ME and Boston, MA.
