About the Listing 1951 - 005774
Rare opportunity to own the historic Purinton Family Farm, a remarkable c.1810 Federal-style home set on 8.77± acres with approximately 550± feet of frontage on the Androscoggin River. Offering 3,000± sq ft of living space with 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths, the home retains the craftsmanship and character that make an early New England property so special, including wide-plank wood floors, period woodwork, built-ins, multiple fireplaces and graciously proportioned rooms. The kitchen offers white cabinetry, generous workspace and breakfast-bar seating, while multiple living spaces provide flexibility for entertaining, working from home or simply enjoying the setting. Outside, an expansive multi-level deck creates an exceptional outdoor living area with multiple seating and gathering spaces centered around a gas fire pit, offering plenty of room for quiet mornings, entertaining, dining and relaxing while taking in the wooded riverfront surroundings. One of the property's most unusual advantages is hidden beneath all that 1810 character: in 1989 the State of Maine relocated the historic farmstead to its present site as part of a highway project, placing the residence on a new poured-concrete foundation and installing a drilled well and septic system at the same time. The result is the rare combination of a genuine early-1800s home above with the kind of modern foundation and infrastructure buyers would normally expect from a much newer property. Mature trees, expansive lawns, wooded trails, historic barn and outbuildings complete the setting, all while remaining convenient to Topsham, Brunswick and I-295. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this is an extraordinary opportunity to become the next steward of one of Topsham's distinctive historic properties.
