Beneath a canopy of stately trees, this nineteenth-century farmhouse offers classic New England charm on 4.01 acres, just nine minutes from downtown Brunswick. Distinctive architectural features, a welcoming covered porch, and original wood flooring give the home a character all its own. Inside, bright, inviting rooms balance historic detail with everyday comfort. The dining room's bay window creates a lovely spot for reading or looking out across the grounds, while the adjoining kitchen brings together exposed brickwork, cabinetry with dovetail joinery, and a genuine wide cast-iron farmhouse sink beneath a bank of windows. Wood floors and views of surrounding greenery carry the warmth of the house from room to room. Upstairs, bedrooms tucked beneath the rooflines offer quiet retreats, complemented by generous walk-in storage and a particularly spacious bathroom with a tub and shower. The third bedroom, currently used as a yoga room, offers an inviting space for work or creative pursuits. Downstairs, a second full bathroom incorporates the laundry. The home's brick foundation reflects its historic construction, and a standing-height basement provides useful additional space for storage and projects. A new hybrid hot water heater adds a practical modern update. A detached garage offers additional room for parking, storage, or projects. Outside, mature oaks and maples mingle with apple and pear trees, bringing blossoms, shade, and brilliant seasonal color. Deer, wild turkeys, groundhogs, and other wildlife are frequent visitors. Bird lovers will be treated to a remarkable variety of birds throughout the summer. Set in Cumberland County, with access to the well-regarded Brunswick school system, the location combines a sense of privacy and space with the convenience of town. Shops, restaurants, and arts venues are only a short drive away, making it easy to enjoy Brunswick while coming home to the quieter pleasures of an old Maine farmhouse.
