The ultimate lifestyle or development opportunity, this landmark Maine property is truly a rare find. Dating back to the Revolutionary War period, the 'Peter White House', was redesigned by renowned architect John Calvin Stevens at the turn of the 19C, whilst owned by G. Morrill of the Burnham & Morrill Co, famed for its B&M brick oven baked beans. This quintessential New England estate, the residence of prominent businessmen and doctors for generations, is now home to a successful woman entrepreneur and her young family. Its pastoral fields, grass airstrip, forest, orchards, organic food gardens, greenhouse, woodfire sauna, charming playhouse, Waldorf inspired sand box, stonewall grotto, sugar shack and animal barn, over 11 acres, make this a storybook setting to bring up the next generation, homestead, or lead a gentleman farmer lifestyle. In 2022 the 4068sqft house underwent a major renovation; the historic Federal exterior is now complemented with a high end modern interior, including one of the most coveted kitchens in the state replete with top-of-the-line SubZero, Stuv & Wolf appliances and white quartz countertops. Maple and pine floors, generous natural light, and a classic white palate give the home a palatial, bright and airy feel; the perfect modern farmhouse. A delight in every season; cherry blossoms and perennial bulbs in spring, verdant greens in summer, a cathedral of orange, red and yellow leaves in autumn, and snow covered branches in winter that evoke living in a Christmas movie. Beyond the main house, the carriageway contains a newly renovated 700sqft studio, perfect for AirBnB or visiting friends and family, not to mention endless loft storage. Turn into the rock-wall lined drive and you'll feel transported to another era, though you're only 6mins to all major shops, 10mins to Sebago Lake, and just 30mins to Portland's PWM Int'l airport and world-class dining scene. 2023 re-zoning offers new development possibilities, including multi-family. |
