If you love old houses like I do, then you’ll see the charm and potential of this 1910 cape located in rural Bucksport Maine.  From the humble eat-in kitchen to the sloped roof second floor this home has character, emits a homey-ness reminiscent of Gramma’s house and yet is functionally intact.  The first floor full bath with cast iron tub (the claw-feet are all that’s missing to add even more of a nostalgic feel) a nice sized bedroom with closet, a laundry room and a sunny den/study with built-in bookcases, shelves and a mantle compliment the living room and kitchen.  The full height half basement contains the utilities – a fairly new electric hot water heater, oil-fired forced hot air furnace, a root cellar cupboard for storage of vegetables and canned goods and the electrical panel – which should be updated to breakers from its current fuses). The home does need some maintenance and attention – the oak floor in the living room is bumped up in a couple places, the tiles need replacing in the bathroom, and the kitchen cupboards and counters are in need of replacing, but the bones of the home are good.  There is both a private well and septic on site as well as a shed and workshop area.  All this sits on 56± acres of land with frontage on Brook and includes a small farm pond as well as some nicely wooded areas with trails for walking. Bucksport Maine is located in eastern Hancock County and fronts on the Penobscot River just inland from Penobscot Bay.  The 2020 census has the population at 4944.  Bucksport offers limited shopping and eateries and boasts a nice marina on the Penobscot River that is deep enough for almost any size personal vessel.  This home is located just 3.5 miles from the downtown business district and only 20 miles from Bangor/Brewer or Ellsworth and 24 to Belfast - making it an easy commute if you prefer to live the rural life and work in the city. Nearby attractions include the Boat landing on Verona Island – Access to Penobscot River & Penobscot Bay for fishing or boating adventures.  It is also just a 15 minute drive to Great Pond Mountain Conservation Trust Lands - 5,000 acres of mountains, woods, and water managed for wildlife habitat, sustainable forestry, and community trails.  There are many local lakes – including Silver Lake, Alamoosook, Toddy Pond, and others just minutes away.  Other area attractions include Fort Knox & The Penobscot Narrows Bridge just 5 miles away (the Fort was built 1844 to protect Penobscot River Valley against British naval incursion and the bridge boasts the tallest public bridge observatory in the world!
