Property Description:

This charming Colonial with 5 bedrooms is perched atop a hill within walking distance to Wilson Lake, a 560 acre cold and warm water lake that has it all. There’s swimming at the sandy beach at Kineowatha Park, kayaking, boating from the public boat launch, and fishing for salmon, lake trout, smallmouth bass, brook trout and chain pickerel, all while enjoying the spectacular view across the lake of Mt. Blue and the surrounding mountains. This stately historic home features gorgeous yellow birch hardwood floors throughout, tin ceilings, an inviting living room with wood burning fireplace and wainscoting, a 5 car parking lot, and the potential of a first story in-law apartment that produces great income as a vacation rental property or can be converted into a first floor master suite. Original period details include unique trim lining the stairwell, dental molding framing the porch door and windows, antique doorbell, ornate sidelights, and original built-ins and baseboards. Recent updates include repointing and lining the 4 chamber chimney, waterproofing the basement with French drains, new sump pump and crushed rock along the backside of house, adding 3 GFCI breakers to the electric panel, updating electrical in basement, and installing new clapboards, tables and framing under the porch columns. Enjoy the spacious front porch with beadboard ceilings in the evenings, listening to the calming sound of the nearby river while watching the sun set beyond the church. It’s a short stroll down the sidewalk to the coffee shop, grocery store, Ambition brewpub, Library, restaurants and post office. Wilton also offers multiple parks with a recreation department, access to hiking trails, ATV & snowmobile trails – next door to quaint Farmington, 1 hour drive to Saddleback, 1.5 hours to Sugarloaf and Rangeley Lake, 8 minutes to Uni. of Farmington.
