Description

Welcome to the Briggs Butler House - an 1816 Antique Cape offering a harmonious blend of old-world character, modern conveniences, and energy efficiency. This well-maintained home sits on close to an acre of manicured grounds, complete with perennial flower gardens, a fire pit, a garden shed, fruit trees, and a treehouse, all overlooking the 584-acre Hayfields Preserve of the Maine Coast Heritage Trust, providing permanent unobstructed river views, and hiking and birding opportunities. The original character of this home is visible in the exposed hand-hewn beams and the three original Rumford fireplaces, complete with an original beehive/pizza oven. Modern updates such as radiant floor heat, heat pumps for heat and AC, PV solar array, level 2 EV charger, heat pump water heater, and spray foam insulation bring this home's historic character into the 21st century. Attention to detail and historic preservation is evident in the custom copper gutters, custom low-e storm windows (done in consultation with the Maine Historic Preservation Commission), vintage restored lighting fixtures, and the replacement of the ell rock foundation with an insulated concrete form foundation. The kitchen boasts custom cabinetry, soapstone counters and sink, butcher block kitchen island with seating, and high-end appliances, including an induction range, ss range hood, and ultra-quiet Bosch dishwasher. The kitchen opens into the dining area and is warmed by radiant heat, as well as a centrally located Vermont Castings woodstove. The first-floor primary bedroom has a fireplace, an attached bath, and laundry. The 375 sq foot garage is finished above for an additional bedroom, studio, office, or entertainment space. Complete with radiant heat, vaulted ceilings, large skylights, and built-in bookshelves. This space could also be easily connected to the house should additional space be desired. This home offers timeless character and all the modern conveniences of 21st-century living.
