Own a piece of History! This Stately Colonial, referred to as the ''John Read'' House was built in 1834 and was once a working farm. Today, the charm and character of its past has been lovingly preserved to accompany the many modern updates over the years. Located in the heart of downtown Orono adjacent to middle and high school, this American Classic features four-five bedrooms, 3 story barn, covered porch, large dining room with coffered ceilings, 4 fireplaces, a parlor-library with built in bookshelves, hardwood floors and original moldings throughout. The exquisitely manicured grounds are contained within a stylish post and rail fence; it is the perfect place to retreat after a long day, or the ideal location for hosting and entertaining large groups.
