This updated 3-bedroom 2.5-bath home has been lovingly maintained, with substantial structural and efficiency improvements. Located across the street from the Damariscotta River, the home enjoys river views in some rooms, a private and fenced back yard, and it is walking distance to the ''Twin Villages'' of Newcastle and Damariscotta. Improvements during this ownership include an engineered replacement floor system on the first floor, basement water management, spray foam insulation, conversion to heat pump heating & cooling, replacement windows, and more. A turn-key offering, this charming 1840s house is well prepared for the years ahead.
