Indulge in the charm of old-world craftsmanship in this beautiful New Englander in the heart of bucolic St Francis. St Francis is a quaint town situated between Fort Kent and Allagash, a small town with several services such as a Credit Union, two General Stores, small museums and a homestyle restaurant. The St John river winds along the banks of St Francis, creating the border between the US and Canada. Enjoy the recreational opportunities such as fishing, snowmobiling, ATVing and hunting with easy access to the rivers, woods and trails. 'Downtown' St Francis is quite walkable with the house being situated between the Community Center and the Fire Department. The home was built in the early 1900's with no expense spared at the time. Doors and windows have thick wooden trim, while the original tin ceilings are in glorious display in the living room and kitchen. A handsome wood fireplace, also original to the home, adds tremendous character in the primary bedroom. The home has two separate staircases to travel between the first and second floors, and a full basement (poured concrete) with lots of storage area and a half bath. The main floor has two entrances to the home, with the latter being a covered farmer's porch. Enjoy the sunrises with a hot cup of coffee as you read from your favorite book. There are two first floor bedrooms; note the glass knobs and intricate door hardware which further display the history of the home. The front bedroom has bay windows, while the side bedroom has the original fireplace. The living room is large, with gleaming hardwood floors. A first floor full bathroom and laundry lead into a back cold storage area. Upstairs is a versatile space, with three more bedrooms, a full bathroom, a living room and a kitchen. This can be used in addition to the downstairs space for a large family, or keep it separate to make some rental income. They don't make houses like this anymore! Call today for more information.
