Description

So much to say about ''Second Wind'', a 1940 New England Farmhouse (living room is the only part of the 1915 home that remains) that has been lovingly renovated, updated and maintained all the while keeping its charm and character. From the moment you step onto the cozy porch and into the warm and inviting kitchen with wonderful mountain views, you will want to make this your home. Two wood stoves, two office spaces, formal dining and living room with full bathroom, laundry room and a half bath downstairs....So much to say about ''Second Wind'', a 1940 New England Farmhouse (living room is the only part of the 1915 home that remains) that has been lovingly renovated, updated and maintained all the while keeping its charm and character. From the moment you step onto the cozy porch and into the warm and inviting kitchen with wonderful mountain views, you will want to make this your home. Two wood stoves, two office spaces, formal dining and living room with full bathroom, laundry room and a half bath downstairs. Upstairs is the primary bedroom with a bonus room perfect for a walk-in closet, reading room or yoga space (or all three) and a second bedroom with remarkable views and a half bath. Attached is a well-built (2x6 construction) 2-car garage with heated shop space as well as a partially finished area above that would make a fantastic in-law apartment. It is all insulated, some electric complete and the plumbing (just under the floor) ready for completion. Outside, there is a pet containment area, lean-to for wood storage, deck overlooking manicured lawns and beautiful established gardens and raised beds. Another serene space is the screened gazebo perfect for your morning workout (after which you can head over to the outdoor shower). A bonus 288 sf garden shed is also included on this meticulous 3.07 acres. Great proximity to Blue Hill, Castine, Bucksport and Ellsworth. This is a must-see property! One-year Home Warranty Insurance protection included.
