226 Elm StreetLimerick, ME 04048Price: $409,000

Set on 4.5 acres overlooking a beautiful tree-lined meadow, 226 Elm Street is a distinctive Maine country home filled with warmth, character and possibilities. From the granite front steps and gambrel rooflines to the wood-paneled interiors, exposed beams and fieldstone hearth, this is a home that feels comfortably connected to its surroundings. At its heart is an inviting, vaulted living room where exposed beams, a wood stove and oversized windows create a wonderful place to gather in every season. The adjoining eat-in kitchen continues the home's relaxed flow, while a separate dining room offers plenty of room for larger gatherings. A sunny nook overlooking the meadow makes an ideal home office, reading spot or creative space. Outside is where the property really distinguishes itself. The open meadow is framed by mature woods, creating a peaceful backdrop with room for gardens, recreation or simply enjoying the changing seasons. A pond is tucked into the property, while an electrified outbuilding--once used as a horse stable--offers intriguing possibilities for a workshop, studio, chicken coop, hobby farming or seasonal retreat. An attached garage provides direct access to the home, and the entry porch offers a welcoming transition between indoors and out. With two bedrooms, one bath and a setting that feels worlds away from the everyday, 226 Elm Street isn't about having more house than you need. It's about having more space to live the way you want--inside and out.
