**Back on the market: 62 South Street is as exceptional as ever - available due to changes in circumstances unrelated to the property.** Perched above Porter's Landing and situated on a gentle curve along South Freeport's picturesque South Street, this iconic home captures the essence of bucolic New England. Built in 1853 and cherished by the current owners, this property exudes historic charm having maintained the best of its period details, while significant systems improvements make it comfortable for today's lifestyle. With 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths plus a first-floor bonus room that can be used as an additional bedroom, this home offers options for all stages of life. Marvel at the many lovely features including wide plank pine floors, floor to ceiling windows, a working wood stove, a beautiful fireplace in the formal dining room and a curved staircase - they simply don't make them like this anymore. A host of improvements have been made over the course of current ownership including replacing the roof, renovating both bathrooms, installing a new propane furnace and 14 kilowatt Kohler generator, rebuilding the deck, energy retrofits that include a fully insulated attic/basement and many new windows, and nurturing the perennial gardens. The attached barn with semi-finished living space above provides a charming home office, additional play space or sleeping quarters for overflow guests. Enjoy summer evenings on the rear deck looking out over mature plantings where immediate access to a cherished trail system leads for miles. Located just half a mile from downtown shops and amenities. Embrace every moment of the Maine summer at the public access boat launch walkable from the house where you can swim or drop a kayak. Rarely does such a prized Freeport property become available, schedule a private showing before this one is gone.
