Property Description
A Classic New England Farmhouse with Timeless Charm. Built in 1850, this well-kept farmhouse reflects the best of traditional New England craftsmanship—solidly built and full of character. With 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths, the home provides warmth, function, and enduring quality throughout. Inside are inviting built-ins, beautiful wood details, and the welcoming feel that only a home with history can provide. The enclosed side porch adds extra living space—perfect for a mudroom or cozy sitting area, especially during Maine winters. Multiple heat sources, including forced warm air, a wood stove, and two heat pumps on the second floor, keep the home comfortable year-round. Set on nearly 8 acres, the property features a lovely farm pond and plenty of open space for gardening, recreation, or simply enjoying the outdoors. A large two-story attached shed provides convenient storage for firewood, tools, or equipment, with an additional shed located behind the home. The detached two-car garage includes a workshop area in the back—ideal for hobbies or projects.
Enjoy a perfect blend of privacy and convenience—just half a mile from the entrance to Sears Island, 5 miles to Sandy Point Beach, and only minutes to downtown Searsport. This picturesque coastal town, situated at the head of Penobscot Bay, blends history and community with its public dock, waterfront park, Marine Museum, shops, library, grocery store, post office, and a growing mix of local favorites including a bistro, tavern, and brewery. Searsport is experiencing an exciting downtown revival, making now a wonderful time to become part of this up-and-coming Midcoast Maine community. This classic farmhouse represents enduring quality and New England charm—ready for its next chapter. An additional adjoining 5.6-acre lot is available—see MLS# 1641154 for details.
