    Fondly named Firefly Farm, this historically rich and impeccably renovated farmhouse is a turnkey, 2-acre coastal property that seamlessly blends modern farmhouse style with original character. Built by Robert & Abby Gray circa 1860s, its current owner has lovingly crafted a documented ownership binder detailing its heritage. Features include a versatile floorplan, a plethora of windows, fresh paint inside and out, fully renovated kitchens and baths, a dry basement with remediation treatments, & a full-home Generac generator. At the heart of the home is a sun-drenched kitchen with acacia countertops, new appliances, a pantry and custom pull-out cabinetry. The main floor also features a dining room, 2 versatile living spaces and a half bath. Three retractable screen doors capture constant sea breezes & fresh air throughout. Storage is abundant, with an oversized attached 2 car garage, & a massive full-height attic above. The interior flows onto a composite back deck complete with built-in seating, a 12' x 10' SunSetter awning, & perimeter garden wire fencing with a latch gate for dog safety. Out front, a new bluestone walkway leads to a composite stoop overlooking three low-maintenance perennial flower gardens. The flat yard features fruit trees, evergreens, wildflower fields, & mature plantings (lilacs, blue spruces, western cedar, Japanese maple, flowering crabapples), all serviced by a spring-fed well. The grounds provide a quiet setting for observing nature, hosting frequent visits from deer, songbirds, local crows, foxes, porcupines, plus a resident pair of nesting bluebirds. Located just 1 mile from Bagaduce Lunch and the reversing falls, 5 miles from downtown Blue Hill, & 18 miles from scenic Stonington, this home has nearby access to the Bagaduce River & coastal bay attractions. This is the perfect place for a productive homestead or a serene estate amongst the stillness and ease of nature. Either way, the house is done for you. Come home to Firefly Farm.
