Property Description

Picturesque waterfront setting on one of Maine's most desirable lakes. On the market for the first time in many, many years, this 1865 family home has been lovingly maintained and updated while retaining its original charm. Through the years, renovations have preserved the home's warmth and character while adding modern conveniences. The spacious first floor features a well-appointed kitchen with granite countertops and newer appliances, a large dining room, and a generous living room with a hearth, and pellet stove. Sliding glass doors open to a lush backyard and waterfront views of Messalonskee Lake. Also, on the first floor is a versatile bonus room, ideal for an office or bedroom - with built-ins providing extra storage and flexible living space. The home has natural wood flooring in all of the primary rooms and kitchen. Original natural wood stairs, rails and landing add to the home's timeless appeal. Upstairs are two large bedrooms, a full bath, and finished storage space in the eaves. The primary bedroom includes its own glassed-in sun porch with electric sunshades, overlooking the yard and waterfront. Outside you'll find two decks, each with their own electric awning, a beautiful garden shed, a utility shed and well-groomed yard. Additional space over the two-car, attached garage offers potential for storage, a workshop or even future living space. A rare opportunity to own a historic, lovingly cared-for waterfront home on Messalonskee Lake. Some photos virtually enhanced.
