This beautifully updated 1790 farmhouse sits atop a pastoral ridge, flooded with light and a sense of expanse. If you daydream of simpler times, of green fields, gardens, and the quiet life, look no further. The 4,400 sq. ft. house features classic details and tasteful updates throughout. The sun-drenched first level has traditional wood floors, multiple, gracious living areas, an elegant kitchen and dining room, three fireplaces, a half bath, and a large deck overlooking the backyard. Upstairs you will find 4-5 bedrooms with classic farmhouse details, with three mostly updated full baths and a large great room/5th bedroom perfect for the kids' rec room, your home gym, home office, or theater. The large attic could be finished to add another suite, workshop, or living space. The amazing post and beam barn in the back has been largely restored, and is bursting with potential. The property's four acres back up onto protected land, and it is situated a mile from peaceful Peabody Pond, less than two miles to Sebago lake, 25 minutes to Pleasant Mountain, and under an hour from Portland. The current owner invested in the property with the intention of living there for a long time. They redid the foundation of the barn and house, added support to the interior of the barn to ensure its stability, and added a French drain to divert water from the foundation of both the barn and house. They redid the basement in the house, digging it out, lining it, adding new gravel, French drains and a sump pump. They also updated the kitchen, modernized the plumbing throughout the house, added insulation, and added a reclaimed asphalt driveway with matting and gravel.
