Live in this comfortable fully renovated home and enjoy country life at its fullest. The house was built the year Maine became a state (1820) and retains some historic charm while providing modern comforts. With a nod to its past there is a deep clawfoot tub for soaking after a day hiking one of the 6 marked trails off Halldale Road or creating in the large open work space behind the garage heated by a wood stove. With 9 skylights throughout the house there is ideal lighting without the use of electricity during daylight hours. A first floor addition provides a large master bedroom w/ full bathroom & an exterior door so you can sit outside awhile before starting your day. Or begin your day in the modern kitchen with a newer gas range and a dishwasher, a lower butcherblock counter level for kneading bread, and a breakfast bar seating area that adds counter space. Another addition is a large heated sunroom with 2 skylights and a tile floor, just perfect for your thriving houseplants & a seating area for reading or entertaining. There is a formal dining room w/ a wood stove on a hearth to keep you cozy in the cooler months, 3 upstairs bedrooms, a heat pump for cooling the entire 2nd floor, a mudroom, & 3 full bathrooms in all. Outside you will find a well landscaped yard with perennial gardens, an established asparagus bed, highbush blueberries, a cherry and apple trees with beautiful blooms in the spring, & fenced vegetable gardens. Behind the house is a grassy area perfect for badminton, frisbee or an overnight adventure in a pup tent for the kids or grandkids. One of several trails in the wooded area leads to a lookout spot to relax and watch for moose, beavers, turtles and birds visiting the marsh across the road. The garage and adjoining building behind it have been used for creative woodworking space, but you may have a different idea. Come take a look and get inspired!
