Welcome home to this historic 5 bedroom 2 bath colonial farmhouse nestled within the picturesque village of Corinna, Maine.
HOME
This late 1800's New Englander with low taxes, boasting over 2,700 sq ft, has spacious rooms with a very flexible floor plan, blending timeless character with recent updates, making it an appealing choice for a grand single family, in-law, or profitable 2-family investment.
Showcasing some original craftsmanship of the era, is the lovely stained glass windows, a 1916 clawfoot tub, locally milled woodwork such as the curved staircase banister, and a granite foundation with a modest root cellar. The primary kitchen has been tastefully modernized and comes fully equipped with a gas stove, side by side refrigerator, and dishwasher.
Outside, a paved driveway leads to a 3 car garage with a full loft above, a shed, and classic gazebo sitting on nearly a third of an acre of lawn, with a flower bed, and mature maple trees.
LOCATION
Centrally located less than an hour from Augusta, Bangor, and Waterville makes this home well suited for commuters or remote workers seeking a quieter lifestyle in a quaint town. Portland is about an hour and a half away and even Boston is roughly only 3 hours.
There is a strong sense of community here among the 2,200 or so residents. Just three doors down step back in time with a visit to the historical society museum, located in the former Corinna Union Academy building. Chartered in 1852, this school continued to thrive, until it closed in 1998. Now, the rooms which once bustled with students, display photos, documents, artifacts, furniture, and tools from that period. After that, check out the Stewart Library, another impressive local landmark with rich history, that overlooks the town park, where concerts are hosted throughout the summer.
POINTS OF INTEREST
If you're looking for more adventure, there are nearby ATV/ snowmobile trails that directly connect to Maine's statewide system. The Four Seasons Adventure Trail skirts several scenic lakes as it passes through forests and farmland, linking Newport, Corinna, Dexter, and Dover-Foxcroft in central Maine. The trail use includes ATV, mountain bikers and horseback riders sharing the trail in warmer months, and during winter months snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and dogsledding are permitted.
Swimming, fishing, and boating can be accessed at several nearby lakes in Dexter, Dover Foxcroft, and Newport. It is also well worth the hour's drive to Moosehead, Maine's largest lake. If you want the coast, it's just 41 miles to Penobscot Bay.
