Description
Steeped in history and beautifully updated for modern living, this circa-1850 Cape is a true Searsmont Village landmark. From the moment you arrive, the timeless covered front porch, classic architecture, handcrafted stone walls, and colorful perennial gardens create an unforgettable first impression, capturing the essence of Maine living. Inside, historic character blends seamlessly with thoughtful renovations. The well-appointed kitchen features granite countertops, quality cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, period chandeliers, and the original tin ceiling. Updated wiring and plumbing complement spacious, light-filled living areas. The home includes three bedrooms, with a convenient first-floor bedroom for single-level living and two additional bedrooms upstairs. The renovated full bath features a whirlpool tub, marble vanity, and a porcelain tiled walk-in shower with a radiant heated tile floor. For added flexibility, the first-floor bedroom could easily become a primary suite with the addition of a second bathroom. The seller has already prepared proposed plans and is happy to share them. A full poured concrete foundation completed in 2021 reflects the significant investment made in the home, while an automatic standby generator provides added peace of mind. The attached heated and insulated workshop is perfect for woodworking, hobbies, or a home business, and the adjoining barn provides excellent storage for vehicles, equipment, and outdoor gear. Relax on the welcoming front porch or enjoy the privacy of the rear deck overlooking beautifully landscaped grounds with mature perennial gardens, attractive hardscaping, and generous lawn space. Just moments from the Searsmont Village General Store, Quantabacook Lake, and only 15 minutes from downtown Belfast, this exceptional property blends antique charm, modern conveniences, and future potential in one of Midcoast Maine's most beloved villages.
