This one-of-a-kind property in the charming town of Hallowell consist of two buildings, one of which is 1,860 sq.ft and has served as a commercial fitness center for the past 15 years, equipped with two half bathrooms and two efficient heat pumps that provide heat and air conditioning throughout, offering space for business use, an in-law apartment, or even a rental property. The main house is an adaptation of a 1600s English colonial home nestled on 1.47 rural acres, with post and beam construction, exposed brick, four fireplaces, custom diamond-shaped leaded pane glass casement windows, and countless Elizabethan-period architectural details. The home was inspired by one of America's most famous Colonial dwellings, the Parson Capen House, which was built in 1682 by the Reverend Joseph Capen, minister of the church in Topsfield, Massachusetts, who became notable for his role in the Salem witchcraft trials.The four flue chimney dominates the profile of the home and provides working fireplaces in each of the two upstairs bedrooms and the first-floor dining and front rooms. Coffered pine ceilings accent the master bedroom, dining room, and upper stairway ceiling. The interior walls and upstairs flooring are wide pine boards, giving authenticity and homage to the building techniques of the late 1600s. Radiant floor heat eliminates the need for registers and reinforces the period feel of this special home. The original propane furnace was replaced with a new high-efficiency unit in 2015. Local recreation opportunities include the nearby Vaughan Woods trails system, known as ''hobbit land'' for its series of picturesque stone bridges, and the 886-acre James Pond Wildlife Wildlife Management Area is only a mile from the property, with hiking, fishing, kayaking, and more. Only minutes to I-95.
