Picturesque waterfront setting on one of Maine's most desirable lakes. For first time on the market in many, many years, this 1865 family home has been lovingly maintained and updated while retaining its original charm. Through the years, renovations have preserved the home's warmth and character while adding modern conveniences. The spacious first floor features a well-appointed kitchen with granite countertops and newer appliances, a large dining room, and a generous living room with a hearth, and pellet stove. Sliding glass doors open to a lush backyard and waterfront views of Messalonskee Lake. A versatile bonus room, ideal for an office or bedroom with built-ins, provides extra storage and flexible living space. Original natural wood stairs, rails and landing add to the home's timeless appeal. Upstairs are two large bedrooms, a full bath, and finished storage space in the eaves. The primary bedroom includes its own glass/screen-in porch overlooking the yard and waterfront. Outside you'll find multiple decks, a beautiful garden shed, and groomed yard. Additional space over the two-car, attached garage offers potential for storage, a workshop or even future living space. A rare opportunity to own a historic, lovingly cared-for waterfront home on Messalonskee Lake.
