1827 Historic Brick Home in Lincoln Maine

Historic 1827 Brick home for sale in Lincoln Maine!  This 10 room home on 0.17 acres in-town Lincoln has all the charm of days gone by:  From the huge country kitchen to the primary bedroom with en-suite ½ bath, this house offers you the best of old and new.  The kitchen features plenty of storage plus an attached pantry, a working wood cook stove, historic flooring and a nice sized seating area with electric heat stove for added comfort.  The dining room has some beautiful original features including built-in China cabinet and tin ceiling as well as a pellet insert in the original fireplace for added warmth and atmosphere.  Attached is the laundry/office (currently used as an aviary) with French doors separating it from the dining room for privacy and convenience. The living room has the original copper surround on its working fireplace that takes you back to the “old days” when it was built.

The upstairs of the home was finished off in stages as one can see form the layout.  The front part of the upstairs has 2 bedrooms and a bath off the main hallway and a full stairway to the 3^rd floor attic which has 2 un-finished rooms from the original house that have electric but no heat.  There are 2 more bedrooms on this floor that are above the kitchen and pantry and can be accessed through one of the front bedrooms or through the 2^nd story of the enclosed porch that fronts the driveway.  This area could easily be made into an in-law suite with the addition of a kitchen area and a shower.

The newest addition to the home is a heated workshop behind the pantry in part of the barn.  This room is currently set up with a large pet-washing sink, a grooming area and direct access to the fenced pet containment area in the back yard.  In addition to finishing off the ceiling, adding heat and running water, the owner took the time to add extra support to the carrying beam here.  The barn can be accessed directly from this workshop and there is ample storage on the second floor above this room.
