Backup Offers Encouraged. Built in 1853 during the golden age of shipbuilding, this New England farmhouse has only grown more beautiful with time. The great sugar maples lining the road have witnessed generations come and go, painting the house in gold each autumn and producing abundant sap for your own delicious maple syrup each spring. A seasonal glimpse of Stockton Harbor and Sears Island drifts into view from the upper bedrooms, a quiet reminder that this land has always held something rare.This home has been thoughtfully and lovingly improved - cedar shingle siding built to endure and age beautifully, newer windows, doors, full insulation, updated plumbing, a well maintained septic system, a complete propane heating system, upgraded 200-amp generator-capable electrical service, and a new gas range. Every update honors the character of the original while making daily life comfortable and efficient.A newly installed fence transforms the property further -- a safe haven for animals, a thriving kitchen garden, or simply a private outdoor sanctuary to shape into something entirely your own. The grounds are a perennial paradise -- peonies, lilies, lupines, hydrangea, lilac, and more tucked among stone walls, some as old as the house itself. 3 Bedroom septic. 24hrs requested for showings.
