    What's special

    Experience the magic of living in a quintessential Greek Rival cape. The architecture and details reflect the boom time for the midcoast of Maine. Characteristic Newcastle hallmarks brought forth by the local ship building tradesmen of the early 1800's. A time when ship building dominated Newcastle & Damariscotta with access to an abundant supply of lumber processed in nearby Damariscotta Mills. These early period homes are of the utmost construction built to endure the centuries. Introduce yourself to a grand style and period layout. Retire with ease of living with ground floor living. Attached 16 x 25 foot barn with second floor storage and workshop. Rear 8 x 17 deck. First floor bedroom with full bath. Family room, formal living room with fireplace. Or enjoy spacious living in this classic style. With school age children, part of the exquisite AOS 93 school district which adds great value to the property. This property does need an updated kitchen and minor cosmetic work, typical, but priced accordingly perfectly livable in its current state. Far less expensive than building from scratch. This property will be be fabulous with some easy enhancements. This section of River Road is seeing a strong revival.
