Step into the warmth and character of this beautifully restored 1850s Wells farmhouse, where historic New England charm meets thoughtful improvements. Beautiful wood floors and period details carry throughout a flexible floor plan featuring 3 bedrooms, including one on the first floor, 1.5 baths, a living room with gas stove, dedicated dining room with kitchen pass-through, den/sitting room, first-floor laundry, and a spacious mudroom connecting directly to the barn. The kitchen offers warm wood cabinetry and granite countertops. The large attached barn provides exceptional space for storage, hobbies or a workshop or vehicle storage. The barn has received significant structural improvements including new supports and sills. Outside, enjoy an open, level backyard surrounded by a peaceful natural setting and bordered by a picturesque brook, with an area that can even provide a spot for ice skating in the winter. Many important updates have been completed or planned, including a brand new septic system to be installed by closing, one-year-old house roof, newer vinyl siding and exterior wall insulation, Harvey replacement windows, lead paint removal or encapsulation, and professional basement and crawlspace waterproofing and moisture management by TC Hafford. A combination oil and Heatmor wood heating system provides added flexibility. A wonderful opportunity to own an authentic Maine farmhouse with history, character, a beautiful setting and an impressive barn.
