About This Home

As of August 2022

If you are looking for privacy and a beautiful piece of property in the welcoming town of Washington, Maine you must see this one! Nestled in 21 acres, the house and two-story workshop building need some work but have wonderful potential. Walk through the front door into the light-filled living area with central fireplace. High ceilings give you that open, airy feeling and the large windows give you a wide view to the partially fenced back yard and down to the meadow below while the sliding doors welcome you to a deck that runs the whole length of the back of the house. A loft overlooks the living area and could be used as a sleeping loft; a study or possible second bedroom is down the hall as well as the primary bedroom which has its own private exit onto the deck. The two-story workshop building has electricity and water as well as a heat source and could be converted into additional living space. This is the perfect place if you are interested in homesteading, or just having a small garden and some chickens. The Washington General, a wonderful general store about two miles away offers anything you would need including delicious take out or dine in menu options. Like the nearby town library, this store offers a welcoming gathering spot for locals, and the public boat ramp giving access to Washington Pond is just a few minutes away. This property is being sold as is. Update as of July 21, 2022: all offers due by 5:00 PM EST on Sunday, July 24, 2022.
