Serenity and privacy less than a mile from the heart of downtown Freeport: a rare parcel.

This charming cottage-style three bedroom, one bath home sits atop a hill amidst forest of oak and conifer trees with heirloom rhododendron, azalea and lilac. Forest views from every window on two and a half wooded acres. Includes water frontage on Frost Gully Brook and inland tidal marsh.

  • Maine Vintage Cottage

    Maple hardwood floors throughout along with carefully crafted original features form this quintessential New England retreat preserved in vintage storybook heaven.

    Original features of the 1959 home include six panel solid wood doors, kitchen cabinets and a brick hearth surrounded by shiplap adjoining the living room and kitchen. The distinguished fireplace features handmade Heritage Lanterns sconces and custom screen.

  • Relax & Enjoy Maine Life

    Summer visits with friends on the outside deck off the kitchen sliding glass door can be followed by canoe or kayak launch into the tidal waters - paddle to Casco Bay and watch bald eagles and herons fly overhead.

    The woodland trail systems nearby are Mast Landing Audubon Sanctuary, Leon Gorman Park and Freeport Historical Society's Pettengill Farm. The LL Bean Discovery School and Wolfe's Neck Woods State Park invite wonderful day excursions only minutes away.

  • Office or Artist Studio Space

    Partially finished basement with direct outdoor access to paved driveway and carport, features tile floor, a peek of the brickwork from hearth above and the opportunity for a workshop, gym, office or art studio separate from the main part of the home.

Maine, the way life should really be.
