About this home

Surrounded by trees at the end of a quiet, dead-end road sits this beautiful, charming early 1800's Homestead. This property has almost 12 acres of land with 1/3 of those acres being landscaped lawn and fields once used for cows, goats and chickens. The other 2/3 acreage is young tree growth for future profits when harvested. The construction of the home is sold wood in and out with no rot or cover-ups. The home has been well maintained for many years. The shingle roof is approximately 8-9 years old and in great condition. The cement basement has new utility equipment, hot water furnace for heat, electric hybrid hot water heater for less expensive energy costs and a water softener filter system for fresh, clean water--all less than 2 years old. The house boasts 14 total rooms and 2 full baths and 2 large closets on the second floor. While 7 rooms are currently designated for bedrooms, there is great flexibility in what these bonus rooms could be used for! The 1-car garage, which was the original summer kitchen, has been rebuilt and is now the main entrance with a large storage loft above. This comfortable country setting is a short 1-mile walk to town's center and another 1/2 mile to the public boat landing in the bay. The town offers all the proper amenities found in a larger sized town. This home in Milbridge sits in the middle of all attractions the area has to offer. Surrounded by lakes, ocean and trails with the rugged bold coast toward Canada, in one direction, and the beauty of Acadia National Park, in the other direction. There is much to do and explore in the area. When the owners are not living in the home, it produces rental income from repeat renters and rental companies. The home has a 3-bedroom septic system.
