About this home

LAKE LIVING WITHOUT THE LAKE PRICE! Historic Merrymeeting home abutting conservation land now for sale! The home has been updated throughout and still retains many original features, from the exposed hand-hewn beams, molding and king pine floors. Gleaming kitchen has been thoroughly updated with hickory cabinetry, granite counters, professional dual-fuel stove, hand hammered copper sink, walk-in pantry and 2 door stainless refrigerator. Large living room with pine painted flooring (Lemond Brown) and loads of sunlight. Desirable 3/4 1st floor bath with laundry room. Guest wing contains handicapped entry, and enormous bedroom with 3/4 bath; set up to accept a pellet stove. 3 bedrooms upstairs with walk-through closet, all big and bright! Home was gutted 5 years ago and had new insulation/sheetrock/doors/windows/metal roof/220 electric and furnace. Perennial gardens, back yard firepit, 2 story shed in the back, town boat launch and beach within minutes walk. Loads of birds. Pleasant running water from the hatchery across the street. Originally a dormitory for the Powdermill which is now the hatchery, then a summer residence for a prominent New Durham resident. The house could be used as a great source of revenue as well, it was used as a rental home in 2018-2019 and generated $1,600 Monthly Unfurnished. This home is a wonderful place to call home.
