319 Main Rd S, Hampden, ME, 04444

The long maple-lined driveway and the wrap-around porch of this unique Hampden home will transport you back in time. The 12-plus acres offer 503 feet of river frontage with sandy beach, acres of field, trails, an inground pool, a campsite with a fire pit, a protected garden area, and an orchard, all zoned for hunting. The house was built in 1952, redesigned, and transformed in 2001. The front door opens to the center hall, and French doors open into the family room, easily used as a first-floor bedroom. On the other side, the office has a bank of windows overlooking the orchard, opening to the sun-filled living room; the centerpiece is a wood-burning fireplace flanked with built-in bookcases and a picture window with views of the back fields and the pool area. The dining area is open to the living room, and the kitchen has a bow window, a wall of built-ins, and plenty of room to expand. The kitchen is picture-perfect, with bright, shiny wainscotting on the ceiling, white cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and granite countertops. The mudroom has a laundry area, and a pantry, sharing direct garage entry, along with a door to the front porch, and a back door to the screen porch, accessing the pool yard: the kitchen pantry, and full bathroom finish up the first floor. The front stairs are naturally lit with a skylight. The primary suite is very sunny with a picture window with views of the back fields and seasonal river views, a small deck, built-in storage, and the bathroom with an oversized tile shower, glass surround, custom dual vanities with plenty of storage with granite. The two bedrooms are well-sized, have ample closet space, and share a full bath. The basement is finished with pine, has a wood stove, and is large enough for a pool table and several other games, plus a half bath and custom bar area. The barn has room for animals, storage, and a large shop. This home is in one of Maines most picturesque communities, known for its excellent school system.
