Description
Not far from downtown Brunswick, the road into historic Pennellville winds beneath tall canopies of trees before opening onto rolling meadows and stately homes. A great old barn stands to the east, with Middle Bay beyond to the south. For generations, land and water shaped this place. Farmers worked the fields while shipbuilders built and launched wooden ships along the shores of Middle Bay. At the end of Simpsons Point Road, rocky ledges stretch into the bay, revealing hidden coves and small sandy...Not far from downtown Brunswick, the road into historic Pennellville winds beneath tall canopies of trees before opening onto rolling meadows and stately homes. A great old barn stands to the east, with Middle Bay beyond to the south. For generations, land and water shaped this place. Farmers worked the fields while shipbuilders built and launched wooden ships along the shores of Middle Bay. At the end of Simpsons Point Road, rocky ledges stretch into the bay, revealing hidden coves and small sandy beaches - perfect places to swim or sit in the sun, far from the madding crowds. Before reaching the water, there is 242 Simpsons Point Road. Set on 5.4 acres at the edge of the meadow, this center-chimney Cape was built in Bowdoinham around 1760. It stood there for more than two centuries before being moved to Pennellville in 1980 and carefully reassembled here. A historically faithful center chimney brings three working fireplaces back to life. The largest anchors the keeping room and includes a working baking oven. Pumpkin pine floors, wood paneling, warm, weathered milk-paint colors, and sunlight carry through the rooms. The ell brings the house forward with a cherry kitchen, pantry, and mudroom. A first-floor bedroom and adjoining dressing room make one-level living easy. Upstairs, a sunny loft with tall ceilings offers space to read, work, or simply sit with the light. Old craftsmanship is everywhere, yet the rooms are warm, welcoming, and made for everyday life. Old things belong here. New things will too. Outside, gardens look across open meadows bordered by woods to the west. An oversized garage and lean-to offer room for firewood, tools, and projects. As the meadows begin to turn golden, summer lingers while the equinox draws near. Back at the old center-chimney Cape, it is time to make the first fire of the season.
