About This Home
As of November 2024The Daniel Melcher House is one of the most iconic homes in all of South Freeport. Built in 1850 from local brick, this 3 BR 3 BA has been recently renovated and features a new kitchen by Taggart Construction complete with a BlueStar gas range and hood plus custom cabinetry. All windows have been replaced with Andersen Renewal divided light windows which have greatly increased the thermal efficiency. In June 2023 a solar array was installed on the barn which covers almost the entire electrical needs for the house plus powers the owner's EV. The main house, barn and shed were all re-roofed in 2021 and the brick exterior was recently tuck- pointed and cleaned. The basement was also waterproofed by TC Hafford who also installed a commercial grade dehumidifier which has created a nice dry storage area. Outside the main house, you will find the barn which is great for storage or expansion possibilities, plus a standalone office space and a shed. The stone terrace was recently constructed and creates the perfect gardening space with its southern exposure. This a turn-key antique home in a great location: walk to the town dock at Porter's Landing for swimming or bike over to the new South Freeport Village Market or walk into town to shop or catch the fireworks on the 4th of July. This home is centrally located for easy Maine living! 20 minutes to Portland. Showings begin on Friday, September 13th. Open House on 9/14 from 9-11AM.
