Property Description

Steeped in history and rich with character, this extraordinary post-and-beam barn home offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Maine's past--thoughtfully adapted for modern living. Originally constructed in the early 1800s and converted into a residence in the 1970s, the property has been lovingly maintained and enhanced over the years, including the addition of a two-car garage with a one-bedroom apartment in the early 2000s. Ideally situated in highly desirable Cumberland Foreside, the location is as exceptional as the home itself.Inside, the home showcases remarkable historic craftsmanship. Hand-hewn timbers are joined with traditional mortise-and-tenon construction, still bearing the original Roman numeral markings used by builders to align each beam. The dramatic central ceiling soars to 26 feet, creating a cathedral ceiling, while the expansive original barn doorways allow natural light and views of the stone patio and lush grounds. Artistic and period details, including reclaimed barn wood, thoughtfully chosen fixtures, and vintage-style flathead nails, add depth and authenticity throughout.The main residence features 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, along with an open-concept living area anchored by the stunning ceiling height and architectural elements. The upper loft, currently used as an artist's studio, offers an inspiring and flexible space. The attached apartment provides 1 bedroom, 1 bath, an open living area with kitchen, and a private entrance.Outdoors, the property is a true horticultural haven. Carefully curated gardens and plantings create a vibrant, ever-changing landscape. Spring brings blooming plants and trees surrounding the lawn. A charming kitchen herb garden complements the rustic stone patio, and the grounds attract a wide variety of wildlife, offering a peaceful, nature-filled setting.A home filled with warmth and cherished memories, this unique property is ready to welcome its next chapter.
