Description

Must see 2 BR 1.5 BA in Richmond. Once used as a barn for a dairy farm, this quaint saltbox was beautifully converted into a home in the 90s. With southern exposure and large skylights, this home is bathed in natural light all year long which makes the wide plank wood floors and quaint built-ins seem all the more cozy.

Once used as a barn for a dairy farm, this quaint saltbox was beautifully converted into a home in the 90s. With southern exposure and large skylights, this home is bathed in natural light all year long which makes the wide plank wood floors and quaint built-ins seem all the more cozy. Watch birds from the large kitchen windows while cooking or doing the dishes, or entertain guests from the center island. In the cooler months, cozy up next to the woodstove in the living room and watch the snow fall from the large sliding glass doors to the back porch and scenic backyard. Situated on a 2+/- acre lot with gorgeous fields, this property is lush and perfect for gardening or simply enjoying the existing perennials and wildlife that surrounds this gorgeous homestead. Consider the potential of the shed at the side of the lot. With electricity already hooked up to this structure, find opportunity to convert this space into a workshop, studio or even an ADU with town approval. Located approximately 7 minutes from downtown Richmond and across from the Kennebec River, this beautiful property has so much to offer.
