Renovated circa-1875 farmhouse offering 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths, set on 1.8 acres of beautifully maintained, level land in a peaceful rural Charleston setting just 35-40 minutes from Bangor with well-kept winter roads for an easy commute. This home blends historic charm with thoughtful updates, including improvements to electrical and plumbing systems and solid foundations throughout. Inside, you'll find a warm and inviting atmosphere centered around a large brick masonry hearth with a wood stove, providing efficient, cost-effective heating--typically just 4-5 cords of wood and under 100 gallons of oil annually.

A durable metal roof on the main house adds long-term value and peace of mind. This property is ideal for those seeking a country lifestyle with modern conveniences, offering space, efficiency, and a self-sustaining feel while remaining within easy reach of Bangor.
