Property Details
Fuch's Farmhouse - Set along the Deer Isle Thorofare, this classic farmhouse occupies approximately 5.7 acres with 450' of frontage, connecting seamlessly to the shore. Located on the western side of the village in the well-loved Green Head neighborhood, the home dates to the early 1900s and has remained in the same family for decades. Currently a seasonal three-bedroom, two-bath property, it has the potential for year-round use with some updates.
The house holds onto its original feel. An entryway leads into the kitchen, which has a propane range and refrigerator, plus a butler's pantry with a soapstone sink, tin ceilings, and wood floors. Wood floors and detailed trim work continue throughout, giving the home a comfortable, lived-in character. The living room centers on a chimney with a woodstove and opens onto the south- and west-facing wraparound porch. The formal dining room retains original radiators and trim.
A first-floor bath includes a shower, washer and dryer, and a bright window with water views. Upstairs are three bedrooms, including a larger room with strong views toward Isle au Haut. A smaller front room works well as a reading nook or office. The second-floor bath has a clawfoot tub, antique fixtures, and an original radiator. The attic offers two additional finished or semi-finished rooms for extra sleeping or workspace.
Outside, the clapboard and wood shingle siding reflect the home's age and setting. The wraparound porch roof has been recently reshingled, and a one-bay garage provides extra storage or workspace.
This is a property that hasn't been overdone--cared for, held onto, and used as it was meant to be: close to the water, close to the village, and very much part of the landscape.
