Description
Here is 124 Swan Road, a unique and spacious country home
nestled in the charming town of Hermon, just minutes from the city of Bangor.
This inviting property offers the perfect blend of historic character, modern
updates, and expansive outdoor space on a beautifully landscaped 5.5-acre
parcel.
The home itself features four bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms,
providing ample space for families or those who love to entertain. The original
portion of the house dates back to 1880, part of the historic Tucker Farm,
which was thoughtfully lifted in the early 1900s to add a full concrete
foundation, ensuring solid structural integrity despite the age. This space,
which already has a half bath and wood stove hook up, could easily be finished.
In addition to this opportunity, upstairs off of the smaller bedroom, has a walk-in
attic access giving you even more room for additional living space. In 2018 a new standing seam metal roof was
installed on the home, in 2020 on the garage, in 2021 a heat pump was installed
in the family room, and in 2024 the two living room bay windows were replaced
with high efficiency Renewal by Anderson thermal windows.
As you approach the house, you’ll immediately notice the
manicured landscaping and spacious grounds. The property includes a
well-maintained apple orchard of around 18 trees, offering a delightful taste
of country living and the opportunity to enjoy fresh, homegrown apples each
season. You will also find several
patches of Maine wild blueberries, known for their high antioxidant content. If you like to make blueberry muffins, these
little fruits are the best. Surrounding
the orchard are open fields and forest, combining to create a diverse 5.5-acre
setting. Approximately 3.5 acres of fields and 2 acres of forest this land
provides both privacy and plenty of room for outdoor activities, gardening, or
simply enjoying nature.
The exterior boasts an attached 1 car and detached (2 or 3)
car garage, perfect for storing vehicles, tools, or creating additional
workshop space. A paved driveway leads up to the house and outbuildings,
allowing for easy access year-round, including hassle-free snow removal during
Maine’s winter and no muddy shoes during spring mud season.
For those who appreciate the charm and history of a classic
Maine farmhouse combined with modern conveniences, 124 Swan Road offers an
exceptional opportunity. The mix of original architectural details and
thoughtful updates allows you to enjoy a home that’s full of character yet
practical for today’s lifestyle.
