Located in the quiet town of Newfield, Maine, this mid-1850's cape is a true one-of-a-kind gem! Situated on just under three acres, halfway up a slight hill, it overlooks the entry for the Vernon S. Walker Wildlife Management Preserve and distant hills. Much of the historic charm has been preserved and awaits your personal touches. Step off the granite stone slab, and enter through the center doorway and turn left into the front-to-back living room with wide pine floors and many windows offering lots of sunshine and view of the yard. To the right of the center stairway, step into a cozy dining area, with stone hearth and an old-fashioned wood stove. Behind this is an updated galley-style kitchen with granite counters and a sun-drenched breakfast room with a forty-pane center picture window overlooking the back yard and gardens. To the far right, on the main level, find the oversized great room, with vaulted ceilings and massive fieldstone fireplace. There is also a loft area, plus a half bath. At the far end of this great room, look down onto gardens and an old carriage house, which could easily be transformed into an antique or gift shop! Up the staircase, there are three spacious, bright bedrooms and a full bath. Just down the yard, through the garden and down stone steps, the former Carriage House is located. Use it for storage or better yet, convert it into retail space - antique shop, gift shop - the choice is yours. On the same property, you have plenty of room for family members to stay temporarily or permanently in the two-bedroom, two-bath manufactured home. Adjacent to this, there is an oversized garage building, including a ''lift'' just waiting for the automobile enthusiast. This property lies across the road from a 5,600 acre wildlife management forest, managed by the State of Maine and invites visitors to hike the mile long trail to the highest elevation, admiring views of nearby foothills and all the way to mile-high Mount Washington in NH
