Welcome to the Loring House, a beautifully restored 1830's center-chimney Cape set on 3.5 picturesque acres in the village center zone of North Yarmouth. The property offers a rare opportunity to thoughtfully develop land in a gorgeous country setting, with access to public water supply. It is located just a short walk to the shops, or quick trip to Cumberland schools, and has immediate access to local trails and amenities. Respectively renovated by a residential architect, the house blends timeless New England character with modern comfort. Original details, such as hand-hewn beams, wide pine floors and three Rumford fireplaces, preserve the home's rich heritage, while extensive updates ensure efficiency and ease of living. The 2,675 sf main house offers an interesting variety of spaces, both intimate and expansive as in the skylit foyer or primary bedroom with their raised ceilings, or the dining and living rooms with their formal elegance, or the den with its cozy feeling. The sunlit eat-in kitchen features soapstone counters, a large butcher-block island, new stainless appliances, double pantry and comfy seating beside the wood stove. There are 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, and the first floor master suite features a private deck and laundry. The beautifully preserved antique barn is joined to the house with a traditional Ell. A part of the barn now houses a charming 1 bedroom apartment, adding 400 sf suitable for an office, a studio, or a rental. As for the formal barnyard, it has been transformed into lush perennial gardens, featuring a stone terrace , vined arbor, trellises and peaceful meadow views. The house offers unusually generous storage, a washer and dryer on both floors, the comfort of a whole house fan, a Thermopride oil furnace, a double-walled oil tank to preserve the aquifer, and a foam-insulated dry basement. With its updated systems, high-performance windows and modern insulation, this charming home offers historic beauty without compromise.
