Description

Nicely sited back from the road on a pretty knoll with sweeping views of fields and woods. Sweet Cape style home has never been offered for sale before. Mature shade trees and perennial gardens (soon in bloom!) feel like country yet only a mile from the local Hannaford, Saco River and 20 minutes to the Maine Turnpike. Built ruggedly, as they did back then, this house has been lovingly maintained and the systems all updated. Entrance through a bright, sunny 3-season porch which doubles as a greenhouse. Front-to-back kitchen with open work space, antique wood cook stove, dining area with new bay window overlooking nature. Spacious front living room has gleaming, real hardwood floors, fireplace and wood stove. Full bath and first floor bedroom that opens onto a second 3-season porch that gazes over rolling meadows where deer are often grazing. Up a pretty staircase are two more large dormered bedrooms and a full bath. Rooms with carpet have hardwood underneath. Bring your decorating tastes to make this your own home! Detached two-car garage has new overhead door and attached storage shed for yard equipment, potting shed (Snells and Frugal Farmer are just up the road) or raising chickens. This great property can be your mini farm in the country yet easily commutable to many destinations!
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources. This description is from October 08, 2024

    "Nothing really. I don’t think there’s much of a neighborhood on Route 112. The cars go too fast on my 25mph stretch. They think it’s a drag race strip. "

    "I have lived in Buxton and worked in Portland for 10 years. It is the EASIEST commute, and takes the same 25 minutes it used to take me when I actually LIVED in Portland and had to deal with traffic. (We now live 14 miles from the Portland line) I love living in the country, feeling safe in my community, and what began as "neighbors" are now "extended family." We were amazed that we could purchase an 11-room farmhouse, huge attached barn, and 2-car garage FOR THE SAME PRICE as what we had sold our tiny Portland cape for. Lower taxes, neighbors who are available 24/7, a terrific school system, and being surrounded by beautiful farmland... all while being so close to Portland. When this information becomes more publicized, I would not be surprised to see house prices rise here. We easily learned about wells and septic systems, and they have proven to be an asset instead of a hindrance. Buxton is a kid-friendly place, with ball fields, streams for fishing, summer programs, wonderful small libraries, as well as lots of roads to safely ride bikes. Pick all the wild blackberries you want...they grow wild just about everywhere! I guess I'd better stop. I could go on and on. But you get the idea. Lower prices on houses, lower taxes, schools with teachers who would do anything for their students, and take your pick of Saturday night bean suppahs! Please consider being our neighbor!"
