Built in 1824 by Joseph and Jacob Smart, this Greek Revival farmhouse maintains most of its charm from years past. With its original granite steps and window lintels from a local quarry to the original front door with etched glass panels, and multiple wood burning stoves throughout, this home is a history buff's dream. Seated on 41+ lush green acres in Swanville, Maine along the Goose River, this farm, aptly named ''Winding Brook Farm'' in 2004 is your escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Enjoy everything nature has to offer in your own backyard with mature vegetable gardens, a brook, pond, and even a large barn with livestock/horse stalls, and plenty of hay storage. Inside, you will find that the home has retained much of its historic elements, from the formal dining and living rooms complete with wood burning stoves, but all the modern comforts you desire. The custom cabinetry in the kitchen as well as high end appliances and granite counters would delight even a novice cook, add in a first floor bathroom with jacuzzi tub and a three seasoned side porch to complete the first floor. Upstairs you will find 4 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms with plenty of space for storage and bright light from al the windows with views of the farm and property. And if that wasn't enough, above the attached 2 car garage, you will find a private in-law apartment complete with full kitchen, bath, laundry, and two bedrooms, perfect for potential extra income or use for guests. Just minutes from Swan Lake State Park, swimming, fishing, and other outdoor recreation, this property is perfect for a nature and animal lover alike, make 908 Swan Lake Avenue into a working farm again, or simply enjoy it as your own country oasis. There is even possible income opportunity from lumber harvest.... the possibilities are endless.
