The Softwood...Welcome to Woodhaven. This early 19th century cape cod is tucked away on a beautiful quiet road in Mount Vernon Maine. Surrounded by multiple lakes and walking trails, this home offers the quintessential Maine experience. This historic 4 bedroom cape nestled on 7.4 acres is one of the first homes built in Mount Vernon. Weathered wood beams frame a bright kitchen which features a wall of glass doors leading out to a large platform patio; seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. The Softwood floors which run throughout the entire home lend to its rustic farmhouse charm. Every corner reveals unique handpicked treasures with a story to tell: a vintage clawfoot tub, kitchen counters repurposed from original floor boards, a spiral staircase in the addition (2022) ascend to a sweet loft overlooking the family room, a stained glass window as the backdrop to a guest bed. With ample space for creativity and sustainability, the possibilities are endless; build a greenhouse, start an artists retreat, or simply find solace in nature, Woodhaven is more than a home - it's a canvas for your imagination.
