Resting atop a leafy knoll in the heart of Bowdoinham village, this farmhouse has been loved by artists and is filled with character and comfort. Hardwood floors, natural light and a wood stove add to the gentle and warm energy of the space. Seasonal views of the winding Cathance River can be glimpsed from the upstairs windows. Versatile and roomy, you will discover there are various options to set up this home to your liking. With a separate downstairs entrance and stairway, you could create a lovely in-law apartment or a private practice home office, or maintain that upstairs space as part of the single family home. The kitchen has a wonderful granite island that opens to the living room, and a pantry with ample storage. Downstairs also has two other large rooms, which could be used as a study, a formal dining room, a library or a playroom, along with a full bathroom that has a great tiled shower. The mudroom and attached garage offer practicality and additional storage, and you will embrace winter with an on-demand generator. Outside, the grounds are glorious with beautiful landscaping and colorful perennials, rock walls and whimsical trail paths. Relaxing on the sunny deck, on the stone patio, or in the tiered wooded seating nooks will add enchantment to your day. Just a five minute walk to the waterfront, boat launch, the country store and the village pub, this charmed home is ready for its next steward.
