Step back in time and embrace the simple beauty of life in coastal Maine with this timeless farmhouse in Trenton, the scenic gateway to Mount Desert Island and the world-famous Acadia National Park. Set against the backdrop of over 46 private acres, this cherished property blends historic charm with some updates over the years that include a generac generator, offering a truly special opportunity to be the next steward of a piece of Downeast history. From the moment you arrive, you'll feel the character at every turn. Original wide-board floors stretch beneath your feet, while classic fireplaces, mantels, and built in's tell the story of generations past. Gentle sea breezes drift across the porch, where peek-a-boo water views offer a glimpse of the bay beyond. The versatile floor plan is designed for modern living while honoring the home's heritage. The open concept kitchen and breakfast nook area invite togetherness, with room in front of the oversized windows to entertain or relax. The dining room is anchored by a commanding brick hearth, perfectly suited for memorable meals and celebrations at the center of the home. A second living space toward the front of the home offers another historic fireplace, wide board floors, beams along the ceiling and access to the front porch. Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms, or two bedrooms plus an ideal home office, along with a full bathroom. A half bath on the main level offers convenience. Outside, a classic two-story barn stands as a testament to the property's past, ready to be reimagined for hobbies, or animals. The land beyond, 46 acres, is a rare and beautiful canvas: a small open field at the front, and wooded acres stretching out behind the home. Covenants to restrict short term rentals will be added to protect this historic gem. Whether you're drawn by the call of Acadia's rugged beauty, the charm of Maine's coast, or desire to care for a historic home, this property offers a chance for every opportuni
