Welcome to this beautifully renovated shingled farmhouse in Freeport, offering a rare blend of classic New England charm and modern comfort--just steps from the Maine Coast Waldorf School. Set on an expansive 22.08 acres of primarily open pasture, this three bedroom, two full bath home spans 2,698 square feet and has been thoughtfully updated to an immaculate standard. Sunlight pours throughout the home, highlighting its warm, inviting spaces and the seamless balance of character and contemporary finishes. The outside space is equally as special.
