Description

Step back in time to an era of craftsmanship and charm in this colonial style treasure, where wide-plank floors and a majestic center chimney anchor timeless elegance in this welcoming country home. Built in 1946 by Maine author John Gould known for his quintessential storytelling in 30 published books and columnist for The Christian Science Monitor and local newspapers. In the book 'The House Jacob Built' (Gould's great grandfather) Jacob Gould built the original house on this lot in 1780 which later burned in a fire. The current home is a replica of the original house in the book and was occupied by Gould and his family from 1946-1973. The lumber, wide plank floors, wainscoting, plank doors and paneling came from the family land in 1946. Original forged hardware on doors and numerous built in cabinets. With a wide center foyer leading to all rooms on the main level and a stairway to upstairs gives this house a wonderful flow.
