180 Ridge Road, Newcastle, ME 04553

In gentle woods near Damariscotta (10 minutes) and Hidden Valley's thousand acres' public access (6 minutes) an updated authentic 1850s Maine home. Original lathe-and-plaster curved walls are steps from radiant-floor heated modern ensuite bath with soaking tub and skylights. Elegant spacial intricacies for those uninterested in prevailing cookie-cutter dwellings. Windows look onto well-spaced tree canopies, outdoor deck is elevated above a gracious meadow ringed by hardwoods. Living spaces are plentiful, solid and unique. Upgrades include kitchen, bath and bedroom areas, masonry stove, metal roof, new well and water lines, flooring, plumbing and new hot water heater. Priced to reflect need for exterior trim and paint updating, but behind cosmetic blemishes is a solid build and worthy home.
