Tucked away on over two scenic acres in Wells, this circa-1740 farmhouse feels like the kind of home with a story to tell. Surrounded by mature trees and open space, the property blends the warmth and character of early New England architecture with thoughtful updates that make everyday living feel comfortable, relaxed, and inviting.
Inside, wide plank wood floors, built-in bookcases, and a wood-burning fireplace create a sense of history and charm that's hard to replicate. Sunlight pours through skylights into the updated kitchen, where granite countertops, generous pantry storage, and casual gathering space make it feel equally suited for quiet mornings or gatherings with family and friends. The dining room and adjoining bonus space add flexibility for working from home, reading by the fire, or simply slowing down and enjoying the setting around you.
The first-floor primary bedroom offers a comfortable retreat with a large walk-in closet and nearby laundry hookups, while the updated bath features a double vanity, granite countertops, and a jacuzzi tub. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath, each with its own private sink area -- a layout that works naturally for guests, extended stays, or future bed and breakfast possibilities.
A pellet stove, solar panels, and a Rinnai tankless water heater add efficiency and comfort without taking away from the home's historic feel. The attached three-car garage offers exceptional space for woodworking, hobbies, workshop use, or creative pursuits, while unfinished space above presents exciting potential for future expansion.
Peacefully tucked away, yet only minutes from Wells Beach, Drakes Island Beach, and the shops and restaurants of Ogunquit, this is a property that feels connected to everything people love about southern Maine while still offering the privacy and character that are increasingly hard to find.
