About This Home

As of May 2022

Steeped in history & antique charm, this rural 1763 center-chimney Cape, sits on over 30+/- acres that sprawls across two town lines (Cushing/Warren). In addition, it enjoys spectacular waterfrontage along the St. George River & Tidal Creek where you can launch your kayak/paddleboard and enjoying exploring the riverbanks or bring your Sibley's Bird Book down to Packard Rock and watch wildlife galore, while having a picnic! The home itself is a rare find - as you walk through the doors, you immediately feel an era gone by! The owners have done a wonderful job of preserved the home's Pre-Revolutionary War characteristics & appearance while blending modern comforts, conveniences and style into the home. The original section of the home consists of 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, kitchen, dining room, 1st floor bonus room and den/library. The left addition was added by the current owners, creating a large living room w/huge reproduction brick fireplace and honeybee oven - it just needs the new stewards to finish the chimney, in order for it to be functional. In the living room, there is a door which leads out to a covered back deck overlooking the beautiful waterviews - enjoy al fresco dining, during those warm summer days! The current owners also built the right-hand side addition, creating the perfect family room w/ vaulted ceilings and wood stove. There is also an attached over-sized two-car garage with the potential to have the 2nd floor above finished. The property will be conveyed with a large barn (20 X30) and shed. Freshly mulched perennial gardens w/ flowers shrubs and native plant species are awaiting the new owners!
Set up a showing today - you'll agree that this private & rural setting is a unique find in today's world! Yet, it's only a 10- 20-minute drive to the Thomaston/Rockland area and everything the MidCoast provides - wonderful restaurants, art galleries, two theatres, public boat launching sites, shopping, and more!
