About This Home

As of July 2024

Circa 1790 Waterfront center-chimney Maine Colonial Farmhouse. This heritage piece of property is the way life should be! Extensive remodeling of kitchen and bathrooms, multiple heat pumps, a wood stove with a chimney liner, new electrical, many cosmetic upgrades, and a brand new dock to fully enjoy the waterfront. Historic features were beautifully preserved, including wide-plank pumpkin pine flooring, and exposed wood beams. Refined modern touches adorn this home, such as radiant floor heating in the custom marble bathrooms and Chef's kitchen. A spectacular 3rd floor bonus room, with beamed craftsman pine ceilings. First floor primary ensuite bedroom. A wonderful outdoor living area, perfect for entertaining large groups. Encompassing over 3 acres, with water breezes, sunsets, and stargazing from the meadow. This home is serenely perched on a hill with 95' of owned water frontage on the beloved, 528-acre Seven Tree Pond. Come enjoy Maine's small-town charm and abundant natural beauty; even the street names are carved onto birdhouses throughout the town of Union. Short drive to Camden and Rockport harbors. A sought-after Midcoast Maine location. Acclaimed dining, historic villages and scenic harbors and coastlines, many parks, and nearby hiking trails. Move-in ready!
