The blend of styles results in a residence that is a delightful mix of formal & casual. The grounds are beautifully landscaped and impeccably groomed. In addition to all the above, the house is sited on almost 7 acres of land with 600' of superb frontage on Damariscotta Lake. For those who place a high value on American architectural treasures, this in an unparalleled opportunity to acquire a significant example in a desirable lakefront location. May also be purchased with 37 Pond Rd, a 3-bedroom, lakefront contemporary.
