Property Description
Discover the perfect blend of modern updates & timeless country farmhouse charm in this well-maintained 3-story colonial, set on 5.58 picturesque acres. With 4 bedrooms & 2 nicely updated bathrooms, plus a bonus 3rd on the top floor this home offers comfortable, versatile living spaces throughout. Wide pine floors add warmth & character, while the large entryway & mudroom provide practical, welcoming spaces for everyday life. Sliding glass doors open to a patio & private, fenced backyard. At the heart of the home is a remodeled farmhouse kitchen, thoughtfully designed for both function & beauty. Custom cherry cabinets, a butcher block island, a chef's gas cooktop, double wall ovens & leathered granite counters make this a fully equipped culinary haven. Major updates offer true peace of mind: new roof, updated windows, doors & storms, plus heat pumps, a Cummins whole house generator, pellet stove, updated furnace & hot water heater. Charming built-ins throughout add character & storage. Step outside to a bucolic, pastoral setting that's a gardener's dream-established fruit trees including apple & pear, rhubarb, fragrant lilacs, raised beds & rich, productive soil ready for your homesteading ambitions. A post-and-beam 3-stall horse barn opens onto dreamy pasture, perfect for horses or hobby farming. A one-car attached garage adds everyday convenience. Tucked along a quiet, well-maintained public gravel road, this property offers privacy, tranquility & abundant wildlife & birdlife-yet remains just minutes from downtown Freeport's shops & restaurants & close to the trails & beauty of Bradbury Mountain State Park. Want even more space? The adjoining 3.8 acre lot is also available for purchase, offering the opportunity to expand your acreage & privacy even further or accommodate multiple homes. This is a rare Pownal gem-where modern comfort meets rural charm in a setting that feels like home from the moment you arrive.
