Property Details
This sunny, spacious farmhouse was built in 1853 during the heyday of shipbuilding and sailing. It has continued to carry the warm and historic charm of the past while allowing for modern conveniences. Following a thorough energy audit in 2010 many upgrades were made: all windows and doors were replaced, house was fully insulated, electrical and plumbing systems updated, and a new septic system installed. In the last few years a complete propane heating system was installed. The updates are beautifully melded for functionality and comfort. The property contains many perennials and shrubs including peonies, lilies, irises, lupines, hosta, hydrangea, holly, azalea, beauty bush, lilac and much more. There are multiple stone walls, some from the 19th century and some newer. The seller is passionate that the jewels in the crown of this property are the large sugar maple trees that line Church St.'s edge. They look glorious year round and are especially beautiful in autumn, when their orange leaves cast a golden glow inside the house. They also provide sap to make delicious maple syrup. The house has a seasonal view of Stockton Harbor & Sears Island, and is especially nice when viewed from the upstairs bedrooms. The second floor contains three bedrooms and a 1/2 bath. The largest bedroom served as an art studio for many years. There is a landing area at the top of the stairs perfect for a personal collection or a houseplant haven. Its central location makes for an easy commute to Belfast, Bangor, Ellsworth and many other locations. 66 Church St. is ready for a new chapter in its long and happy life, are you ready to be it's next steward?
