Property description
Built in 1824 the Ferryman's House was the original crossing point to picturesque Day's Ferry. Original beams are just a small part of the charm of this gorgeous and unique property. Imagine sitting on the large screen porch watching fish jump and bald eagles soaring. Your backyard is 120' of waterfront and includes your own private dock. You can also enjoy the river from over 400 square feet of additional decks. Keep your boats right on the deepwater dock for easy access whether you are going to Merrymeeting Bay or down to Popham Beach. All of this plus an amazing house which has been completely renovated while retaining the elements of original charm. Heating and cooling from 5 heat pumps insures your year round comfort. The sophisticated and very livable decorating will make you want to move right in. Every thing is in tip-top condition. The open kitchen with soapstone sink, granite counter tops and new appliances is anchored with a large antique island. Attention to detail is apparent throughout the house, including beautiful original wood flooring and updated antique lighting fixtures. Bathrooms are spacious. The comfortable master bedroom suite makes single floor living easy, and includes a 1st floor laundry. The two-second floor bedrooms share a full bath and include extra large closets .. The Kennebec River provides the perfect backdrop for relaxed living. Few properties come on the market that can offer you deep water and elegant living while being right in town. Move into the Ferryman's House and you may never want to leave home again.
