Description
Built in the 1800's, this vintage Maine farmhouse combines classic aesthetics w modern updates to create an ideal balance of charm and functionality. Lovingly restored by renowned interior designer, Christina Salway, this farmhouse sits well back from the road with a welcoming farmer's porch overlooking an old fashioned perennial garden. With 10.5AC of open meadow and woodland, bounded by stone walls, sunlit garden spaces, wild blueberries and mature trees, this insulated home balances rustic charm and modern amenities-creating a perfect summer retreat or year-round homestead. While currently configured as a 3BR/2B, one of the 2-1st.Fl living spaces was previously used as a ''master-on-main'' with direct access to a full B. With freshly painted walls and refinished pine floors, extensive improvements have been made, including a roof, hot water heater, well pump, newly serviced heating system, stone patio, drainage, and more (please see attached list). Behind the house-attached by a charming breezeway-you'll find a post and beam barn perfect for a party space and/or workshop. Slated to be featured in multiple regional and nat'l design magazines this Sept. and Oct., this home's renovation will also be featured on Chip & Joanne Gaines' Magnolia Network, ''In With The Old''. There you can watch Christina blend the old with the new, updating the farm kitchen with handmade Moroccan Zellige tile, a chef grade AGA Elise 48'' range, Blomberg Fridg, Bosch dishwasher, ceiling beams, new pantry, and Carrara marble countertops. You'll watch the transformation of the 1st.FL B with a new toilet, sink, and tile floor; and then the conversion of an unused 2nd.Fl space into the expansive primary BR with adjoining bath, featuring a show stopping antique Pullman copper tub salvaged from one of the grand homes in Bath. While maintaining near full privacy, this home is 5 min. from shopping and restaurants in Blue Hill-10 min. from Tinderhearth-15 min.from beaches and preserves.
