Nestled between Pemaquid Lake and Muddy Pond, you will discover a collection of antique homes dating back to those early days. This home was built in 1872 by sea captain Samuel Morton, a charming 3 bedroom Cape on 3 acres of pristine gardens, lawn & woods; a thoughtfully maintained & updated property. Today, the property boasts a new roof, insulated basement, central vac system, stunning antique wood floors, gorgeous mature perennial gardens with stone walls, large garage and pottery/potting shed. Upon entering through the mudroom, you are greeted by the warmth of a traditional kitchen with exposed beams, wide horizontal wall panels below the windows, slate countertops & farm sink, open cupboards & closed cabinetry with unique architectural features reminiscent of nautical practicality. Beyond the kitchen, a formal dining room with recessed window panels, gleaming wide-board floors, & woodstove hook-up. In the newer addition, a fabulous great room with radiant floor heat, gas parlor stove, ample windows to both maximize passive solar and for enjoying those gentle summer breezes. For one-level living, the first floor sports a bedroom with exposed beams, dressing room and full bathroom. Finally, the laundry room and one-half bath complete the first-level floor plan. The 2nd floor includes 2 more bedrooms- one with cathedral ceilings, exposed beams and loft, Up the back staircase from the kitchen, you will find a den/office & exercise room. Located next door to the Doyle Preserve for hiking & nearby Pemaquid Lake & Biscay Pond for swimming, boating activities & winter ice-fishing. A short 5 minutes drive to downtown Damariscotta for a variety of stores & shops, restaurants, galleries, an award-winning library, town marina and LincolnHealth medical campus. Just 30-40 mins. to Bowdoin College, Camden Hills State Park & 60 mins to Portland JetPort. A true Gem!
