Set in the heart of Cushing, widely known as Wyeth country and forever connected to the legacy of Andrew Wyeth-this sun-drenched 1770s Cape stands as one of the area's earliest homes, steeped in history, character, and enduring charm. A truly special offering, this property blends the authenticity of Maine's past w/ meaningful updates for modern comfort. Entering through the front door, you are welcomed into the living room where original pumpkin pine floors set a warm and timeless tone, leading seamlessly into the updated kitchen accented by exposed barn beams. From there, the layout continues into a flexible den or office space, followed by a first-floor bedroom and a full bath featuring an authentic clawfoot tub w/ classic fixtures. Completing the main level, a glassed-in three-season sun porch--complete with a charming hanging wood swing--offers an inviting space to unwind, perfect for slow mornings, weekends, or peaceful evenings overlooking the grounds. Heading upstairs, the 2nd level unfolds with generous space for additional bedrooms, guest quarters, or creative bonus rooms, all connected by a wide hallway lined with large closets that provide valuable storage. Surrounded by 28 acres, the land offers a beautiful mix of open yard and mature trees, along w/ low-maintenance landscaping. A fenced-in backyard creates a perfect sanctuary for pets, while a garden shed w/ electricity adds functionality for hobbies/storage. Significant system upgrades over the years provide peace of mind, including a new hot water heater, updated plumbing, a new ThermoPride hot air furnace, a new oil tank, architectural roof shingles, and the addition of a whole-house generator-enhancing both efficiency and reliability year-round. Ideally located w/ easy access to Thomaston, Rockland, and nearby shopping and restaurants, this property offers the rare combination of convenience and a peaceful rural setting--inviting you to slow down, breathe deeply, and enjoy the best of Midcoast Maine.
