Property Description
Step into a rare piece of local history with this charming 1840s Cape, offered for the first time ever. Tucked away at the end of a quiet dead-end street in the heart of Kenduskeag, this well-preserved home blends classic character with a peaceful, beautifully maintained setting.
The traditional Cape layout includes an attached shed, workshop, woodshed (with several cords of seasoned firewood included!), and a stately historic barn, large enough to store a couple of vehicles. The first floor features a convenient bedroom, while two additional bedrooms are located upstairs. A striking, mason-built stone fireplace added in 1976 is the centerpiece of the cozy living room. There's plenty of potential for expansion to suit your needs.
Inside, the home showcases original doors, moldings, and wide-plank pine floors. Adding to its historic charm is a unique local claim to fame—this home was the very first in Kenduskeag to feature an indoor bathtub!
Outdoors, the private lot is ideal for gardening enthusiasts, with mature apple trees and established perennials creating a peaceful, retreat-like atmosphere. Whether you're enjoying a morning in the garden, relaxing in the 12' gazebo on a hot summer day, or working in the spacious barn, this property offers both tranquility and versatility.
Located less than 10 miles from Broadway in Bangor, you'll enjoy the best of both worlds—country living with convenient access to city amenities. Kenduskeag is known for its strong sense of community and the annual Kenduskeag Stream Canoe Race! The town is also currently building a new fully-funded public library to enjoy.
Don't miss this unique opportunity to own a piece of Maine history in a picturesque small-town setting.
