One of the iconic properties in the center of Round Pond village, this antique expanded cape retains the charm of the past while accommodating modern living. Part of the original ''King's Ro'' of sea captains' homes, these houses were built in the 1840's and 1850's with amazing Greek Revival and Gothic Revival details. The entry of this home opens to an inviting mudroom and then into the kitchen, featuring a butcher block island with seating, vintage sink, and attached pantry. A large dining room off the kitchen has a gas fireplace and wide pumpkin pine floors. The dining room leads out to the deck and landscaped yard overlooking fields. Enjoy the beautiful sunsets from the deck while entertaining friends and family on a warm summer evening. The living room, on the other side of the kitchen, has a wood burning fireplace and access to the first floor bathroom with clawfoot tub, separate shower, and laundry. The original front entry hall off the living room has a vintage staircase and opens to the large L-shaped family room with gas fireplace, that could also serve as a first floor primary bedroom. The upper floor landing leads to 2 sweet bedrooms and a smaller bedroom or office, and bathroom with clawfoot tub. The other side of the bathroom has a large changing room with closets, and a cozy library or book nook which is a great spot to sit and enjoy your morning coffee. The library has the entry to the back stairs, and to the primary bedroom that has exposed beams. With its location in the middle of Round Pond village, this home is walking distance to everything in Round Pond, including lobster docks and restaurants, market, coffee shop, ice cream window and more. Guests will want to visit on Independence Day to be front and center for the famous Round Pond 4th of July parade. Close to Damariscotta with many shops and restaurants, and everything the scenic mid coast has to offer, this is Maine living at its best.
