Built circa 1835, ''Locust Farm'' is a rare opportunity to own a storied piece of Eliot waterfront history along the banks of the Piscataqua River. Originally built for Captain John L. Jenks, a whaling Captain from New Bedford, MA. The property later became a gathering place for generations of families, hosting early Quaker meetings, Boy Scout jamborees, horse shows, and countless community events. Today, this expanded Cape Cod farmhouse blends antique charm with the comforts and systems expected for modern living. On nearly an acre with 344 ft of owned frontage on the Piscataqua River, the property is uniquely positioned due west to capture breathtaking sunsets year-round. For boating enthusiasts, the property offers the potential for a dock and mooring, providing direct access to the river and beyond. Offering over 3,600 square feet, the home features 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, a large eat-in kitchen with granite countertops, island, & living area centered around a classic wood stove. Multiple gathering spaces, and flexible living areas are ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. A convenient first-floor laundry room and dedicated spa room complete with a sauna. The primary suite is on the 2nd floor next to the back staircase and additional family room. An attached 2 story barn adds storage, and exciting possibilities for a future accessory dwelling unit, guest quarters, studio, or multigenerational living, subject to local approvals. The grounds still retain the timeless feel of a classic coastal farmstead with mature landscaping facing the water's edge. Additional features include a one-car attached space, newer roofs, generator hookup, multiple heating sources including pellet and wood stoves, and a versatile floor plan that combines historic architecture with modern functionality. Historic significance, expansive waterfront, and authentic Maine character combine to create a distinctive riverfront home. Open Houses Fri 5/29 5-7pm, Sat 10-12pm Sun 2-4pm.
