There is a certain kind of Maine home that captures everything people love about living here: a winding approach through the trees, a landscape that changes with the seasons, a private haven where the woods meet the tidal waters. Between the classic shingle exterior, the woodstove and hearth, the gardens and gathering spaces, and bedrooms enough for family and friends, there is an encompassing warmth here that simply can't be replicated. Minutes from Freeport's popular shops and restaurants and surrounded by opportunities for outdoor adventure, you can launch a kayak from your own Harraseeket River frontage or explore the trails at Wolfe's Neck State Park. Inside, thoughtful craftsmanship is evident in the architectural details, Pella windows, and comfortable layout. The main level includes an open kitchen and dining area, a fireside living room, a first-floor primary suite with a newly updated walk-in shower, a home office, mudroom, and laundry. Upstairs are three additional bedrooms, a full bathroom with double vanity, and extra storage. The finished daylight lower level provides a great family or media room, additional space for guests, and a full bathroom. A substantial detached barn presents wonderful possibilities for guests, a studio, or creative pursuits, with a 2 car tandem garage, workshop, an apartment above, and a versatile carport. Outside, the flat front yard, a screened porch and two decks overlook mature trees, a fire pit, and a striking landscape that leads to a pond and waterfall, viewing platform, and steps down to the river.
