Castine's historic Dyer-Wescott house has been thoughtfully updated offering greater interior space than meets the eye. This elegant 1820 era cape features antique pine plank floors, 4 fireplaces (two of which are fully functional) unique antique flourishes and a view that is swoon-worthy.The south-facing acreage is open and ready for gardens amid existing apple trees, lupine and meadow grasses. If the current floor plan with 9+ rooms including 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths is not enough space, the existing ell where the garage is located provides expansion potential.A daylight basement level has two bonus spaces ready for your desired use.As with so many early Maine homes, this one was built in close proximity to the road. Luckily it was sited with a 180 degree turn so the front is not on the road. When inside or on the charming porch the road is not terribly noticeable.This home has a lovely air about it that you have to experience to appreciate. The first floor has generous rooms including a library and a sunroom, as well as a formal dining room and living room, with a clever kitchen off the back. The fireplaces add instant coziness. If a first floor bedroom with en-suite bath is needed there is a way to rework the sunroom and existing powder room to accomplish that.Attentive ownership includes new roof shingles, and well-maintained systems to provide peace of mind for a new owner. Furnishings are negotiable.

'Stepping Stone Farm'' is a charming antique cape that has been lovingly maintained over the years. This is for the true New England cape aficionado with its beamed ceilings, wood floors, beautiful fireplaces, old doors with thumb-latch hardware and wood sash windows.Like many early capes, this is one-floor living, with a series of ells added through the years to the original volume. This is a prime example of the ''big house, little house, back house, barn'' building style of the early New England era.Beautifully sited a good distance away from the main road, there are 4.5 acres of land that includes old apple trees and a lovely well-established vegetable garden. There is a sunny deck off the back of the home that is very private and serene. An oversized one-car attached garage is also a big plus.The roof, systems, water, and general condition is very good as old homes go. Current owners had a thorough building inspection done in Oct. 2020 which included septic, water, radon air and water. Reports available for review. This home is ready to move right into, or if you are looking to make upgrades, you can do some cosmetic upgrades on the kitchen and baths, which remain in their retro style. This home is an amazing value at $339,000 given the comparable homes sold, and the fact that it is in Castine. Just a few miles down the road you have the village center of this historic, elm-centric seaside town.
