Property Details
Welcome home for the holidays! A rare find with this stately American Four-Square, built in 1905 and lovingly cared for by the same family for over a century. This handsome fully furnished, turnkey, Arts and Crafts-style home sits on an exceptionally large 1.4-acre corner lot in-town, bordered by the tranquil Wapskahegan Brook and lush, established landscaping that takes decades to cultivate. The grounds are a gardener's dream, featuring four varieties of mature apple trees—Russian Astrakhan, McIntosh, Cortland, and Granny Smith—along with flourishing lilacs, peonies, daylilies, and more. There's even a second garage (18' x 12') for your mower and garden tools, plus rich, fertile soil once used for bountiful vegetable gardens that yielded potatoes, squash, corn, and greens. Inside, the home offers almost 2,000 square feet of warmth and character. Enjoy two charming glassed-in porches, a spacious eat-in kitchen with a wood burning Scandinavian stove and a winter's worth of seasoned firewood to boot, first-floor laundry, formal dining room, and a large living room with bay windows. A cozy den adds flexibility for relaxing or working from home. Upstairs, you'll find four generously sized bedrooms—perfect for family, guests, a home office, or creative studio. The expansive full bathroom (10.5' x 10.5') features a separate jetted soaker bathtub and shower, plus built-in drawers for convenient storage. The property also includes a two-story, 2-car garage (26' x 26') with a separate 200 amp service and a full woodworking shop on the second floor—ideal for hobbyists, artisans, or additional storage needs. Just 20 minutes from Calais—your gateway to the Maritimes and New Brunswick, Canada—you'll have easy access to shops, restaurants, spas, and border-town charm. Explore pristine lakes and rivers just 30 minutes north, or head south to reach Maine's breathtaking salt water bold coast.
This is more than a home—it's a piece of living history.
