Built in 1828, Captain John Berry smartly sited his house and barn on a rise, on ten acres over looking and surrounded by classic farm fields. Having had only three owners until 1999, In the two years following that sale, the house was meticulously and lovingly restored being continuously maintained since then while carefully preserving period details. An incredible kitchen with breakfast bay overlooking the fields, opens into a full pantry with extra refrigerator, open shelving and cabinets, a formal dining room, and lovely living room with long westerly views. One bedroom suite is on the first floor with the other three on the second floor, the sage suite, the blue suite and the honeymoon suite, all tastefully appointed. The interior layout is perfect for a Bed and Breakfast. The large detached barn has a newly floored hayloft, a new roof, and mostly new exterior paint. The large back deck, accessed from the living room and kitchen, is the place for magical sunsets looking across eight fenced acres. A smaller barn on the north line has two horse stalls and tack room. Bordered by conservation land, there is a woods road to Old Pond, a saltwater cove. This property and other farms on this road make it one of the most uniformly beautiful roads in eastern Maine.
