Authentic, beautifully preserved, and full of character, this exceptional circa-1850 post and beam farmhouse captures everything buyers love about an old Maine home--without the long list of projects that often comes with one. Set on four private acres with 362 feet of frontage along Carll Brook, the property offers over 3,500 square feet of thoughtfully maintained living space, including a fully permitted in-law apartment that adds exceptional flexibility. Rich in warmth and architectural character, the home showcases the craftsmanship expected of an early Maine farmhouse while incorporating thoughtful updates. The kitchen was designed for gathering, featuring antiqued granite countertops, an impressive 10-foot island, walk-in pantry, and seamless connection to the surrounding living and dining spaces. Multiple rooms throughout the home provide flexibility for entertaining, home offices, creative spaces, or guest accommodations. The first-floor primary suite embraces the home's historic charm with a dressing room, walk-in closet, clawfoot soaking tub, separate shower, and first-floor laundry. Completed in 2007, the fully permitted in-law apartment offers true single-level living with its own full kitchen, open living area, bedroom, and handicap-accessible bath--an ideal setup for aging parents, extended family, or long-term guests. Outside, mature trees, open fields, and the gentle sounds of Carll Brook create a setting that feels naturally preserved rather than perfectly manicured. The landscape reflects the property's agricultural roots, offering the quiet beauty and timeless character of an old Maine farm without the demands of active farm maintenance. Conveniently located near lakes, beaches, hiking, dining, and everyday amenities with easy access to the Maine Turnpike, this special property offers the tranquility of country living while remaining within easy reach of Portland, Portsmouth, and Boston. Apartment is 1 bed/1 bath configuration
