About This Home

As of December 2023

This elegant, 3 story South of Grand home is located in the sought-after Owl’s Head historic neighborhood. So many updates have been done including an entire 3-story addition! Even though much of the home has been updated, it is certainly not lacking in character –found at every turn – from original fixtures & trim to gorgeous built-ins. The home features 6 BRs, 3.5 baths, large open kitchen, formal dining, den & many other living spaces. Enjoy the fresh air from one of the many outdoor spaces: wrap around front porch w/ Tuscan columns, three seasons porch, outdoor patio spaces & quaint 2nd story decks off the bedrooms. Outdoors is like living in an enchanted forest, nestled in a stand of mature trees. Entertaining is at the forefront with the outdoor kitchen, firepit, pergola– all in a beautiful setting with extensive landscaping installed throughout the grounds. This home has such a private feel but is only a short walk to the Ingersoll shops, restaurants & amenities.
