About This Home
As of January 2025Serenity and privacy less than a mile from the heart of downtown Freeport: a rare parcel. Charming cottage-style 3 bedroom, 1 bath home sits atop a hill amidst a forest of oak and conifer trees with heirloom rhododendron, azalea and lilac. Forest views from every window on 2 ½ wooded acres. Includes water frontage on Frost Gully Brook and inland tidal marsh. The woodland trail systems nearby are Mast Landing Audubon Sanctuary, Leon Gorman Park and Freeport Historical Society's Pettengill Farm. The LL Bean Discovery School and Wolfe's Neck Woods State Park invite wonderful day excursions only minutes away. Maple hardwood floors throughout along with carefully crafted original features form this quintessential New England retreat preserved in vintage storybook heaven. Original features of the 1959 home include six panel solid wood doors, kitchen cabinets and a brick hearth surrounded by shiplap adjoining the living room and kitchen. The distinguished fireplace features handmade Heritage Lanterns sconces and custom screen. Summer visits with friends on outside deck off the kitchen sliding glass door can be followed by canoe or kayak launch into the tidal waters - paddle to Casco Bay and watch bald eagles and herons fly overhead. Less than a mile to Freeport's village shops & restaurants, US Route 1 or Amtrak Downeaster train - which treks from the midcoast to Boston and beyond. Drive I-295 to Portland in 20 minutes - or work from home with reliable high-speed internet. Partially finished basement with direct outdoor access to paved driveway and carport, features tile floor, a peek of the brickwork from hearth above and the opportunity for a workshop, office, gym or art studio separate from the main part of the home. The rest of the apportioned basement offers large dry storage areas, washer/dryer and utility sink. Bedrooms provide ample closet space. Rental possibilities for income generation. Feel secure all winter with your onsite, hardwired propane home generator.
