293 Yellow Birch Road, Whiting, ME 04691 (MLS # 1678289)

Rarely, if ever, does a property become available on coveted Yellow Birch Road in the quaint village of Whiting. This handsome Salt Box design was built by the current owner, a skilled carpenter and craftsman, and has been a cherished family home for decades. Set on 3.7 surveyed acres, this property offers a wonderful blend of classic character, comfortable living space, and room to enjoy the outdoors. The house was designed and sited to take advantage of the winter sun for passive solar heating. The home features a spacious mudroom with laundry, a full-size kitchen with an antique wood cookstove and large pantry, a first-floor full bath, dining area, and a large living room with a woodstove and heat pump. An expanded, sunken sunroom provides exceptional year-round living space, filled with natural light and offering a peaceful connection to the surrounding land. The brick floor stores heat from the winter sun and heats the whole house on sunny days. On the north side of the house a large woodshed holds up to 8 cords of wood. Upstairs are four bedrooms and a half bath, providing plenty of space for family and guests. In the basement are two finished rooms (344 sf), shelving for storage and a sizable root cellar. With proper ventilation management the root cellar will keep carrots, beets and other root crops for up to a year. Outside, the expansive grounds are framed by mature hardwoods and apple trees, with a broad lawn, large fire pit, and swing set. Although not currently cultivated there, is a large space that was formerly a vegetable garden. Tap the sugar maples on the property and make your own maple syrup. A large, detached garage (28' x 28') and additional oversized storage shed (24' x 16') provide ample room for vehicles, tools, equipment, and recreational gear. The partially insulated garage is built with attic trusses providing an additional 392 SF (14' x 28') of additional storage space or potential office or living space.
