18 Trim Street, Camden, ME 04843

Quiet, gracious Trim Street is the location of this charming village home with a stately front porch and large private back yard bordered by tall pines and a towering red maple. Built in 1891 on land from Captain Trim, the ''Emmaline Wiley Homestead'' has four spacious and sunny bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a laundry room with a half-bath.

The primary bedroom was part of the original barn and has a cathedral ceiling, built-in bookshelves and a craft room accessed by a library ladder. It is separated from the other bedrooms by a den used for television and movie nights. Downstairs, the open, eat-in kitchen floods with the morning light and leads out onto the back deck overlooking the yard.

On winter days a Vermont Castings wood stove keeps things toasty. The kitchen's central island is perfect for enjoying a casual meal, completing homework, or entertaining, as is the adjoining sitting room. A cheerful dining room hosts holiday meals while the cozy living room with a Jotul woodstove framed by an antique mantle is an ideal spot to gather, play games, or relax with a book.

A private office off the home's mudroom entrance is perfectly situated for creative work and concentration. In addition to the storage there and in the barn, you'll find a large daylight basement - some of which is partially finished -- and a walk-up attic with views of the harbor and Curtis Island.

Truly a treasured and special home, this wonderful farmhouse is an easy stroll to the harbor, shops and restaurants and offers both congenial, neighborhood living along with a surprising amount of privacy. One of Camden Hills State Park's best known hiking trails is only a few minutes walk away, as is Camden Rockport Middle School. Move right in and enjoy this home immediately or bring your ideas -- this location is hard to beat as it offers true village living and a happy vibe, close to all Camden can provide.
