Seldom do we see such an incredible house that has all the original features sttill here. Built c. 1880's this grand lady has original clapboards with quoines , a large cupola with grafitee from the 1890's and a prescence with two large stone markers with room for lanterns on the drive. Inside there is a wonderful stenciled ceiling with bright colors. Basic wiring has been done and the owner has built two new chimnies that are lined. The rooms are large and have original doors and moldings. The two front doors still have the wonderful etched glass. Much of the cracked plaster is removed so it will be easy to insulate and add more wiring. Buyer will need to install a new kitchen and update baths and finish this home. There are many heat sources: 2 furnaces, a wood furnace, a wood stove and a monitor heater that used kerosene. There is also a separate furnace for the barn workshop.The barn has had a lot of new foundation work done with cement retaining walls and a walk out basement which is now a workshop. The welll is a dug well fed by an active spring. Septic was put in yeas ago put works fine. the 3.9 pastoral acres are mostly fields lined with stone walls. This home is set in the small village of South Bridgton yet shopping and cultural activities and movies are just a few miles away. Bridgton has 5 public beaches on nearby lakes for residents only. Bridgton Historical Society's Narramisic, a history farm is close by and skiing in the winter at Shawnee Peak is a 15 min. drive. This is a true fixer upper but oh the potential to finish this lovely home. Come live in the country!!!!
