48 Birches is a charming countryside retreat with 30± versatile acres consisting primarily of fields and woods, ideal for recreational or agricultural pursuits. The house is a historic Cape-style farmhouse originally built in the 1800s with plenty of modern updates to complement distinctive period details. The four-bedroom Cape features exposed wood beams, brick accents, and original wide-board wood floors that contribute to the appealing atmosphere reminiscent of a classic Maine farmhouse. A formal living room is centered around a wood-burning fireplace, and there is cozy farmhouse kitchen with a wood-burning cookstove. The home has an ell, with a very special and rustic summer kitchen, plus an unfinished second floor, that connects the house to an expansive three-car garage. The rural landscape has been thoughtfully cultivated with multiple varieties of apple trees as well as established berry bushes, asparagus and rhubarb beds, perennial flower gardens, grape vines, and gardens ready to be tilled.
