Description

Located in the desirable town of Durham, this historic 3 bedroom, 2 bath cape style home with attached barn was built in 1840 and was once the parsonage for the Durham Methodist Church. From the moment you walk in to the vaulted entry way and the exposed brick chimney to the original wide plank flooring, you'll feel the history throughout blended with updated kitchen including stainless steel appliances and modern touches. While at your farmers sink look into the beautiful backyard with apple tree,...Located in the desirable town of Durham, this historic 3 bedroom, 2 bath cape style home with attached barn was built in 1840 and was once the parsonage for the Durham Methodist Church. From the moment you walk in to the vaulted entry way and the exposed brick chimney to the original wide plank flooring, you'll feel the history throughout blended with updated kitchen including stainless steel appliances and modern touches. While at your farmers sink look into the beautiful backyard with apple tree, raised garden beds, and neighboring fields making your half acre property feel like it never ends. Sit on your farmers porch for the most incredible sunsets you'll ever see. Close to Freeport's shopping, dining and state parks, and convenient to Portland/Topsham but you'll feel like you are a million miles away from it all in your own country oasis. Attached barn has endless possibilities and could be finished for additional space. Peace of mind with all new septic system, well, chimney, 2 heat pumps, and new woodstove. This family has put their love and energy into this home and are ready to hand off the keys to the next lucky owners. Showings start Saturday afternoon!
