288 Front St Richmond, ME 04357

288 Front Street is a spectacular antique circa 1852 home with a modern 1996 addition, just a stone's throw from the Kennebec River. It offers delightful attributes at every turn, and a unique interior design where antique architectural details blend seamlessly with a decor that is chic and timeless. The original house boasts a grand eat-in kitchen with unique butler's pantry, and an abundance of cabinetry in both. The spacious, open-concept dining room & living room is a rare find in an antique home—there is a woodstove in the living room, as well as window seats & built-in shelving. The formal entry is generous in size, with a staircase that leads to the 2nd and 3rd floors. There you will find four bedrooms, and a large hallway on the second floor with cathedral ceilings and many bookshelves. The second floor's primary bedroom has a working wood-burning fireplace, and the most amazing walk-in closet—another rare find in a home this age. The 1996 addition dovetails nicely with the original structure. It offers a stunning great room with wood-burning fireplace; exposed beams; and a bedroom that is currently used as a sewing/workroom. From the great room, you may access the sunroom/greenhouse; or take the back stairs to the large library/office loft. At one time, the great room & workroom served as an in-law apt. The welcoming farmer's porch; gorgeous gardens with pond feature; and nice, level yard provided opportunities for outdoor R&R. Richmond is comprised of beautiful farms; Victorian, and Greek revival homes; and a growing vibrant village with a supportive community and a rich historical story to tell.

Richmond is centrally located, with easy access to Augusta; Brunswick/Topsham; Bath/Brunswick; Lewiston/Auburn; Wiscasset; and is only about 45 minutes to the vibrant city of Portland, and the International Jetport. A wonderful opportunity—you'll love living here. Very special.
