About This Home

As of October 2018

Set on spectacular grounds, this updated antique 4 bedroom coastal cape has wide pine floors, three original fireplaces, and a well preserved barn with detached bunk house. The expansive property is lined with historic stone walls, features mature hardwoods, and offers vintage apple trees and gardens. Newer additions include a post and beam kitchen and dining wing with cathedral ceilings a brick hearth/wood stove all overlooking a private stone patio nestled in well landscaped back yard which gently slopes to a pristine salt water marsh and Harpswell's largest conservation area. A perfect location, close to town and route 1, yet a short walk to your deeded deep water dock, float, and mooring. New owners will appreciate ample storage from the post and beam barn, a tractor shed, and the detached 2 car garage.
