Built in the early 1800's from local brick, this cape style farmhouse fits the model of the ''big house, little house, back house, barn''. On the front a covered deck greets you and opens into an entryway tucked between the kitchen and more formal dining and living room areas. Beyond the kitchen a family room leads to a three season porch which juts out into the expansive backyard and provides a peaceful spot to enjoy the birds, mature fruit trees, and natural surroundings behind the house. The current owners have been committed to the basics of air and water quality, updated electrical wiring and plumbing, new whole house automatic generator, and all new windows as well as significant cosmetic improvements. Potential for a large family room, workshop, or studio. Lots of storage space. Ideal location close to downtown Damariscotta, Lincoln Academy, Boothbay, and Rte 1. Borders on extensive conservation land known as the ''River~Link'' which provides some 5 miles of accessible trails. Great Salt Bay School District. Lots to appeal!
