About the Listing 1059 - 014711
Ebenezer Lord settled in Berwick before 1750, building his new house in 1796, now one of the oldest homes in town and a rare opportunity for the antique home enthusiast who values original craftsmanship over modern trends. This remarkable piece of Maine history has over 2,500 square feet and is filled with sunlight, character, and countless original details that have survived centuries. Inside, you'll find three bedrooms and a full bath upstairs. The first floor features a living room, dining room, kitchen, laundry, and a full bathroom, along with two additional rooms that lend flexible use as bedrooms, office space, or studio rooms. Fireplaces are found throughout the home, including one with a wood stove, all framed with unique mantels and full of personality. The wood floors, windows, paneling, doors, and trim appear largely original, and even the front staircase curves in that charming, centuries-old way you can't recreate. The kitchen has been modestly updated with white cabinetry and a tile backsplash. The layout also allows for first-floor living, a rare feature in antique homes. One of the property's most impressive features is the two and a half-story barn, which was carefully preserved and reconstructed using both salvaged and new timbers. It was built to commercial floor load standards, and includes an insulated metal roof. The structure is prepped for town water and sewer. A ME DOT driveway permit is in place, and a second-floor beam overhang allows wiring to be boxed in. Full CAD drawings are available for review. Whether your vision includes a studio, retail space, workshop, or something more, the barn is ready to become something extraordinary—with infrastructure and vision already in place. This property is ideal for someone who sees themselves not just as a homeowner, but as a steward of local history, preserving and elevating a legacy that has stood for more than two centuries. Agents, please see internal remarks.
