1633 Main ST Readfield, ME 04355

Once in a lifetime does a property become available with such local significant history. Imagine living in the home that was once owned by Luther Sampson, founder of Maine Wesleyan Seminary which later became Kents Hill School. History has it that in 1791, Luther Sampson, a skilled house wright and joiner from Duxbury, MA set out at the age of 40 to claim land due him for his service in the Revolutionary War. He eventually came to Kents Hill and chose this site for the house because he had an ''eye for a good view''. The building was originally built in 1800 and painstakingly re-build in 1953 by Peachey Builders of Augusta. The property was once part of the vast Kents Hill Orchards and the house has been in the same family for 221 years. From the moment you step on the property and into the home, you may feel the prominence of such a place. The home is in extraordinarily good condition with many updates since the re-build in 1953. The first floor consists of an open kitchen / dining and living room, bedroom, new bathroom, den, and laundry room. The second floor has four bedrooms, music room or library and a new bathroom with pumpkin pine floors. The house is large with over 3500 square feet and potentially 6 bedrooms, the lawns are magnificent, views are spectacular, and the new owner is expected to be overjoyed.
