A rare opportunity to own a vintage Maine farmhouse, brimming with history and charm! Known as Cobbler's Cottage, this historic home was once the residence of a Civil War veteran and cobbler, offering a rich tapestry of local history.In 2018, the property underwent extensive renovations. Local artisans utilized Maine's natural resources, incorporating cedar shingles, pine boards, and stone to preserve the home's authentic feel. Upgrades include modernized heating, plumbing, and electrical systems, as well as new exterior doors, decking, and flooring. The heart of the home lies in the kitchen, featuring a shiplap accent wall, quartz countertops, a farmhouse sink, and premium Bertazzoni appliances. This space flows seamlessly into the dining area and living room, where a new Hearthstone Manchester cast iron woodstove, set against a brick surround, serves as a focal point. Adjacent to the main living area is a versatile room that can serve as a den or a bedroom, complete with bespoke hardwood built-ins and French doors leading to the deck. A half-bath enhances the functionality of this space. The main floor bath has been fully renovated featuring a custom tile shower for a spa-like experience. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms provide cozy retreats, each filled with natural light. The property boasts a beautifully renovated three-level barn, offering plenty of room for hobbyists, extra storage, or even a workspace. The three-bay garage adds versatility, complete with overhead storage. The outdoor space is equally impressive, w/ extensive perennial plantings, newly built stone walls, & a white cedar fence. You will also find peach, pear, apple, and sweet cherry trees, along with maple syrup-producing trees and a small shed currently used as a sap house, perfect for those interested in hobby syrup-making. This remarkable property is an ideal haven for those who appreciate history, craftsmanship, and ample space for their passions—all just 3 miles from downtown Freeport!
