Property Description

Extraordinary post-and-beam barn home featuring a 3-bedroom, 2-bath main residence plus a 1-bedroom accessory dwelling unit above the attached two-car garage. The barn was originally constructed in 1812 as part of the Morrill Homestead. The conversion to modern living space began in the 1970s with renovations over the years, including the addition of the two-car garage and apartment in the early 2000s. Lovingly maintained and carefully enhanced, this property blends historic character with modern comfort. Ideally situated in desirable Cumberland Foreside, the location is as exceptional as the home itself. Inside, the home showcases remarkable historic craftsmanship. Hand-hewn timbers are joined using traditional mortise-and-tenon construction, still bearing the original Roman numeral markings used by builders to align each beam. The dramatic 26-foot central cathedral ceiling creates a sense of scale, while the expansive original barn doorways fill the home with natural light and frame views of the stone patio and landscaped grounds. Thoughtfully curated architectural details, including reclaimed barn wood, period-inspired fixtures, vintage-style flathead nails, and carefully selected finishes, enhance the home's timeless appeal. The upper loft of the main home, previously used as an artist's studio, offers a flexible and inspiring space for creative pursuits, a home office, or additional living area.The attached 1-bedroom, 1-bath accessory dwelling unit features a private entrance and an open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area, making it ideal for guests.Outdoors, the property is a true horticultural haven with carefully designed gardens and plantings which create a vibrant, ever-changing landscape. The grounds attract a wide variety of birds and wildlife, offering a peaceful connection to nature. Rich in history, craftsmanship, and character, this home has been filled with warmth and cherished memories and is ready to begin its next chapter.
