Description
Set on 6.1+/- picturesque acres with approximately 458 feet of frontage on Meadow Pond, this 1865 farmhouse offers a rare blend of historic character, privacy, and natural beauty. The grounds gently slope toward the water, with established landscaping surrounding the home, a well-kept lawn near the residence, and a more natural landscape beyond creating a peaceful meadow setting. Located on Oregon Road, the property enjoys both convenience and quiet; the town-maintained road ends shortly beyond the property, helping to keep traffic limited. Inviting, elegant, and comfortable, the home retains the warmth and charm of its 19th-century origins while reflecting thoughtful updates and additions completed over the years. The kitchen and living room flow together in a spacious, open gathering area ideal for entertaining and everyday living. Off the living room, the sunroom provides a tranquil place to take in views of Meadow Pond. A full bath on the first floor is located near a room currently used as a library and office, offering potential flexibility for a first-floor bedroom if desired. The second floor is designed with comfort and privacy in mind. One staircase leads to a generous primary suite with an ensuite bath, convenient access to the laundry room, and lovely views over the backyard and Meadow Pond. A separate staircase leads to another spacious bedroom on the opposite side of the home, which shares a full bath with the third, centrally located bedroom. Just off the kitchen, the attached two-car garage offers convenient everyday access and welcome protection during Maine's winter months. The current owners have made carefully considered improvements, including impressive foundation work creating a dry basement, additional updates including a supplemental heating system, a 12-kW generator, five new Andersen windows, and a recently shingled roof--enhancing the home's comfort and long-term appeal, providing confidence for the next owners.
