About This Home
Step into a storybook setting with this lovingly preserved Greek Revival farmhouse, complete with a 40' x 50' barn, nestled on an estate-like 5 acre lot.
The property offers a picturesque blend of pasture, open space and mature woodlands. A gardener's dream, the grounds feature heirloom apple trees, lilac borders, vibrant perennial beds and raised vegetable gardens.
The 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home embodies timeless country living with the benefit of modern comforts (see the attached list of extensive updates). At its heart is a cozy sitting room with original Pumpkin Pine floors and a fully restored Beehive oven, perfect for warming winter evenings. In warmer months, entertain on the spacious composite deck overlooking your private landscape. The updated kitchen boasts butcher block countertops and newer red birch floors. Additional first-floor highlights include a formal dining room, laundry room and generous great room- ideal as a flexible living space or potential first-floor bedroom- paired with a stunning newly renovated powder room.
Upstairs, you'll find a primary bedroom, two additional bedrooms and a full bath. The expansive second floor of the abutting 20' x 40' Ell offers exciting possibilities for an ensuite primary bathroom addition/bedroom expansion, or perhaps an in-law suite apartment. Below, the Ell's first floor includes a vehicle/tractor storage area and a spacious workshop- easily convertible to a two-car garage. The stunning barn sparks the imagination- Could it once again house animals, be transformed into a charming wedding venue, or fulfill the seller's town-approved vision for a 5-room inn?
With comprehensive system upgrades and a full-property generator, this residence ensures effortless comfort. Enjoy a lifestyle that blends refined rural tranquility with exceptional convenience. Located just minutes from downtown Freeport and I-295, you'll enjoy easy commutes, nearby shops/dining, and access to outdoor recreation.
