    What's special

    Decorative fireplaceWarm and welcoming atmosphere
    This classic antique Cape Cod style home has been updated with modern conveniences while its character has been retained. Situated on a 2.5-acre lot with mature trees and a beautiful back yard, the property also offers a two-car garage, added in 1982, which includes a workshop and second-floor storage. Enter through the 3-season sunroom with views of the side yard and neighboring fields. Pumpkin pine floors throughout the first floor create a warm and welcoming atmosphere, especially in the kitchen, the heart of the home. The dining room features a built-in window seat and a decorative fireplace (no longer in use), while the living room is spacious enough for larger gatherings. The home's layout provides flexibility as several rooms are ideal for more than one use—the den includes a closet, and with the adjacent full bath, it also makes a perfect first-floor bedroom. The largest of the three upstairs bedrooms has a full bath and a wall of windows overlooking the pastoral side yard. Public utilities include water and natural gas, and a new boiler was installed in 2021. Commuting is quick and easy—just 5 minutes to downtown Freeport and under 20 minutes to Portland!
