Realtor Comments
Built in the late 1800s, this historic structure sits in the quiet village of Stoneham surrounded by mountains, lakes, and outdoor recreation. Inside, you’ll find high ceilings, exposed trusses, original woodwork, and warm natural light pouring through stained glass windows. The front roof was replaced in 2024, and a brand-new two-bedroom septic system with a 1000-gallon concrete tank was installed in 2025. There’s room on the lot to install a private well; water is currently shared with an abutter. The forced hot air boiler is being removed. Buyers should confirm any intended or potential future uses with the town’s code enforcement officer. Don’t miss this rare chance to own a beautiful historic building in a peaceful part of western Maine!
