Absolutely love this home, the flooring, cabinets, doors, room sizes and the very sweet kitchen! Wow! So refreshing to hear someone younger say they love the older cabinetry in the kitchen. I sometimes cringe when people's first comments are that the kitchen "needs updating!' This home looks perfect....and it's a treasure! If I bought it, I'd keep everything just as it is inside. Thank you for showing it!

I don’t blame you for being excited! It’s got so much character and charm. Saving the door through to the barn made everything on the other side such a surprise too. Great house.

Lovely home. Unfortunately electricity is going up in Maine 20% so you really need to be sure you're buying something that is energy efficient.

Oh, my…this is my dream house! We really thought about retiring in New England, but the lure of low humidity pulled us to Arizona, and this is the sort of property that makes me regret that decision.

@@kaebella2259 I agree about the summer heat! We lived all over the US for my husband’s work with the last place (before moving to AZ) being York, PA, so it would have been quite convenient to go to New England, certainly more than it would have been to move where we did. I really miss all the green foliage, distinct seasons (especially a beautiful Fall), and I really miss other architectural styles like old, true farmhouses that are made for antiques! Good luck with finding a home back east!

And autumn makes up for it all. And we get more sunny days than rainy ones. The rest, BE PREPARED in winter, dress appropriately and don’t drive until roads are plowed which they do really well. I can see that winter is difficult for some older people here. My mom can’t stand the winter. AC in summer. No tornadoes, hurricanes, fires, or extreme and lengthy heat waves. Low crime, good schools, doctors, and hospitals. And did I mention autumn? I think overall it’s a good place to raise a family. You might like the North Pacific coast, although they are getting some extreme heat waves. I can’t imagine living anywhere else. Wayyyyy too hot and other crazy weather I don’t like. I’m sorry about your neighbor though. That is awful, and very, very sad.

Congratulations on your engagement.

You should have an independent show where you do three to four home tours to perspective buyers. That would be so much fun.

Do some digging if you can in local records, that house has late 18th century (1700s) nuances, low ceilings very tight staircase centered in the front hall, center chimney, low wainscoting wide plank floors, federal style front entry, entablature tucked under the roofline on the front facade etc..... I'd take a gamble at 1790s-1820s typical clapboard fronted cape cod style indicative of early new England..

how is it heated

I don't know, 375 seems too much for me. First, the main issue is that it is under contract. How and at what price to make it free. Location can in fact not really serve, you'll sit in a small community and far away. The building on itself has charm the roof looks good but all the rest needs overhauling even the garden. Then it will come very costly for such a small house. I also find there is too less light in that house, I would do a depression. This is also cuz it sits in a wooded area. I am not saying it is bad but there is no project to recupe money on it. Can you make a guest house out of it? Can you make a shop out of it? A restaurant? I don't see much opportunity in space unless you start building. So overall very charming but lacking in business opportunity.

I like the house, however to me it would have been even more beautiful inside if all the white paint were gone, in places we got a glimpse of the wood without white paint and it was so warm and inviting not cold and sterile feeling like the white. I'm so happy that the beautiful brick fireplace didn't get white paint on it or the exposed chimney upstairs. One question, can the wood stove insert in the fireplace be removed in that fireplace and the fireplace still be used as a wood burning fireplace? Where does one park their car at this house, would a garage need to be built?

We Mainers really wish out of staters would stop out bidding us in the housing market. I know where this is. My uncle lives not far from this home. We Mainers are losing most of our historical homes to wealthy out of staters. We cannot compete with them in the bidding process, even though we can meet the asking price, and as such are being driven out of our small hometowns- towns that our families helped establish back in the 1600's. These videos actually kind of frustrate me, every time I see them.

It wasn't a great place to be. No, what's killing Maine is that wealthy people from other states buy our beautiful historical homes, and then rent them out for an arm and leg, without ever having moved to Maine. They take advantage of our tourist season, but never spend a full winter here- because they're pussies. They also out vote Mainers and force us into policies that we natives would have not typically agreed to. As such with the offshore wind turbine efforts, by Janet Mills. These people who come here bring their politics with them and force their liberal ideologies on our state and drive us further North every time. It's ridiculous! Now these assholes are going after our lobster and fishing industry! I think there should be a law that states you cannot vote, nor buy property, or sell in a new state until you have lived there for a full five consecutive years straight. Mainers should have first dibs when it comes to buying property in our state and should be able to have more say in our legislation and local govt. It's become such an issue that Mainers have really had to take less than adequate housing further away from job opportunities, just to have a roof over their head. And trust me when I say- 'out of staters could care less'. They don't care, and never will.
