About This Home

As of June 2025

This great old home in the village of Brooks, has been well maintained over the years while preserving many of the old original features. Family has used it as a country retreat and vacation destination and made sure that all systems were in good working order and serviced on a regular basis. Trees and flowers are plentiful, a path in the back takes you to a quiet picnic spot and there is a charming outbuilding with stain glass window that lends itself to a place to write, paint, dream, meditate or just relax.
Entering this home is like stepping back into time to a more peaceful gentle age. Enjoy a cup of tea and a good book on the sun porch. The town park and village are just a stroll away. Welcome to the heart of Waldo County!
