This charming, Victorian house has recently been renovated, and the first floor is now available to rent as a studio apartment. The rest of the property and grounds are unoccupied for your privacy. It has a new, modern kitchen, a small bath with a walk-in shower, a lovely dining room, and a living room/bedroom area with a comfortable, king sized bed. A five-to-ten-minute walk will get you to downtown Freeport and the L.L. Bean flagship store, shops, and restaurants. The trails and rocky coast of Wolfeâs Neck Woods State Park and the beach at Winslow Park are less than a 15-minute drive away.
A gravel pathway from the driveway brings you to a back porch and entrance to the house. The back porch gives you a view of a field, and you might catch a glimpse of birds such as robins, American goldfinches, and the occasional cardinal. From the porch, you enter the house into a small hallway with storage shelves that contain board games and other items. A wooden door brings you to the kitchen. (As is common in old houses, the door sometimes sticks, especially in the summer, so you might have to give it an extra push or pull.)
The modern kitchen is fully outfitted for your convenience with dishes, cookware and cooking utensils, and flatware. There is a dishwasher, refrigerator, microwave, and a stove with an induction cooktop. Small appliances include a coffeemaker, toaster, blender, and Instant pot. Three windows make the kitchen light and airy.
The kitchen leads into the dining room. The dining room has a simple elegance with burnt orange curtains, a Tiffany lamp, and an original glass cabinet. There is attractive woodwork and large windows. The heat in the apartment can be controlled by the thermostat on the dining room wall. The AC is also in the dining room during summer months and can be used to cool the dining and living room/bedroom areas. (Box fans are also available in the kitchen.) The dining room is separated from the living room/bedroom area by pocket doors.
Bay windows brighten the living room/bedroom area, and blackout curtains provide privacy and block out light for sleep and for cooling in summer months. The king sized bed is prepared with cotton sheets and sets of firm and soft pillows. In addition to the bed, there is a couch where you can lounge and relax. A 32â Vizio smart TV as well as an upright piano help to keep you entertained. The fireplace has beautiful woodwork and tiles. (Fires are not permitted though.)
A small bathroom with a black-and-white tiled floor and a walk-in shower with a glass door is located off of the dining room. The bathroom contains a European-style, compact all-in-one washer/dryer.
