With nearly 250 years of history the Sweetser / Hayes House circa 1775 (Ell of Wm. Buxton House, Moved 1840) is as intriguing now as it has been through its long life. With remarkable retained details and a host of updates the home is move-in ready but offers opportunity, especially at this price, for upsize or reinvention. Located at the center of North Yarmouth village the uses range from residential, multi-family, mixed-use and commercial. This is an area that is rapidly evolving with so much that is walkable including a brand new brewery and tasting room, yoga studio, creative kids space, ice cream shop and more. Within walking distance enjoy Skyline Farm with is exhibits and recreation trails and Knights Pond Preserve that is perfect for active outdoor adventures, not to mention only 4 miles to Yarmouth Village, a continuous 2-mile sidewalk to Cumberland Center and only 20 minutes to Portland. You enter the property off a pastoral side street and immediately notice the sun-filled side yard, perennial gardens, expansive open and green space and the detached in-law / apartment. With 2 car garage parking, full bath and an efficiency kitchen this makes for the perfect AirBnB, rental, guest cottage, home-office, business space... As we turn to the house the barns are the first thing you notice. Long, tall, straight and in great condition the uses are nearly limitless. Inside the home has enjoyed many updates (wiring, heating and even mini-split heat pumps) while retaining its historic character. The main house offers 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths (1 on the main level) an expansive eat-in kitchen with wood stove, living room with impressive hand hewn beams... This home is not to be missed. Offers due and reviewed Wed. 8/3 by 5PM.
