Perimeter antique lights line the beautifully landscaped 4.39 acres surrounding the property. This unique home has been featured in popular publications such as Maine Homes by Downeast, Yankee Magazine, Country Home, Early Homes, and Old House Journal. Recently, NewEngland.com highlighted the property, describing it as:
“Modern-day convenience meets old-fashioned charm. How one Maine couple turned a 1984 house into the antique of their dreams.”
The story of this home begins with the current owners wanted to create a home that captured New England’s rich history. After searching for an old house that met their standards and not finding any to their liking, they chose to build. With a skilled carpenter, they constructed a home that looks as if it has stood for centuries.
The owners gave some insight into their vision behind creating this home in a NewEngland.com feature.
“We looked at old homes, but everything felt modernized. We wanted wooden ceilings, beams, wide pine floors, and fireplaces – a real taste of history.”
With structural beams and handmade bricks, the antique look was achieved. They also chose country wallpaper and stenciled designs to complete the interior. The owners’ vision has resulted in this exceptional property and story of passion and true dedication.
