''Once Upon a Dream''. This evocative statement graces the granite plinth that stands at the entrance and remains in the mind while touring this exquisite legacy property. From the chandeliers in the carriage house to the dazzling whirlpool spa with river views, this property has no equal in Madawaska. Step across the farmer's porch into a modern yet classic farmhouse with four thousand square feet of living space. Find your solitude amongst the eight acres of land and the popular-with-wildlife reflection pond. Store anything your heart desires and have room for any project in the historical, soaring barn. This is more than a house, it is a compound; a retreat. When it is time to relax during the sweet months of summer, an outdoor inground pool and hot tub allow you to survey your domain. The main attributes of this property are four bedrooms and two full and one half bathrooms. One floor living is possible with laundry and one full bed and bath on the main floor. Without exterior entry stairs and a large roll in shower it can be suitable for low mobility individuals. The formidable kitchen is a pleasure to cook in and can host informal meals. When special occasions arise, the formal dining room and sitting area create a handsome dinner party. Continue the entertainment in the formal living room and media room, or head outside on the full wrap around deck. Spacious and grand with pastoral views, this will become your favorite part of the home. The St John River and reflection pond views are calming and ever changing. Back inside, you'll find a delightful upstairs with two guest bedrooms, informal living room, dressing area, and the expansive Master suite. The ensuite bath is always desirable, and a full length river view parlor with Romeo and Juliet porch is delightfully unexpected. With the whirlpool spa and captive views, is is truly the pinnacle of the property. Property visits to be scheduled with qualified buyers.
