Introducing the Rev. Jonathan Atkinson house, a remarkable antique Colonial built in 1800 as the local parsonage and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1999 as part of the Limington Historic District. Brimming with charm and rich with history, this property offers 3 bedrooms, many versatile living and dining spaces, multiple fireplaces, original hearth with beehive oven, and excellent potential for your further customization. A thoughtfully designed, 20th century addition seamlessly integrates modern practicality with the home's historic character, providing a spacious kitchen, dining area with built-in bookcases, full bathroom, and convenient first-floor laundry. Two expansive attics, one original and one above the addition, provide excellent opportunities for future living space, a creative retreat, or vast storage. The large post-and-beam barn with poured concrete floor serves as a 3-car garage with extra room for storage and workshop space. A sweet courtyard garden connects the house and barn, creating a private, picturesque setting for bird-watching, gardening, or quiet relaxation. Set on a thoughtfully landscaped .98 acre lot, the grounds include mature roses, blueberry bushes, flowering shrubs, and classic stone walls. A large, flat lawn beyond the barn is ideal for vegetable gardening, outdoor recreation, or hosting events under a tent. Though some recently-deferred maintenance awaits, this property is a rare opportunity to acquire a piece of history that has been in the hands of one careful owner for the past 50 years. Newer roof, boiler, and an on demand generator keep things simple. Whether you dream of making a historic home shine again, or adding your own modern touches, this property offers endless possibilities. All this, only 40 minutes from Portland and 30 minutes to Windham. Come and see!
