Property Description

Available for the first time in nearly half a century, this classic, c.1850 New England farmhouse offers a rare opportunity to own and reimagine a cherished piece of Yarmouth's architectural history. Once known as Sunny Side Farm, the property occupies a lovely landscaped 1.1-acre lot and combines timeless character, generous proportions, and the increasingly rare chance to create a truly bespoke residence in one of Southern Maine's most sought-after communities. The house features 8-foot ceilings both upstairs and down, pumpkin pine floors, front and back staircases, and generously sized rooms throughout its current five-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath layout. A large, second floor laundry room may provide scope for an additional bathroom, and the 3rd floor attic could be finished for extra living space. While the home's wallpaper-clad walls and vintage kitchen reflect decades of devoted ownership, they also present an exceptional canvas for thoughtful restoration and modernization. Why buy someone else's ideal dream home, when with vision, creativity, and thoughtful updates, you can craft your own? The house is thoroughly livable as-is for those who prefer to move in now and evolve it over time. Practical highlights include up-to-date mechanical systems, public water and sewer, oil-fired central heat, and pellet and wood stoves for supplemental warmth. Outside, a sunny, open lawn invites gatherings and gardening, while mature plantings including lilacs, peonies, flowering shrubs, and shade trees frame the property. Located close to the North Rd entrance of Pratt's Brook Park, and accessible by sidewalk to Yarmouth Village shops, restaurants, library, and popular farmer's market. Whether you're drawn to historic homes or simply want the chance to build something truly your own, this is an exceptional opportunity to write the next chapter of a beloved property's long story.
