108 Heath Road

Each town in the midcoast seems to have its own special areas and addresses. The Heath Road is one of Bremen's great locations. With Broad Cove dominating the neighborhood, the oceanfront's allure is ever-present and this offering with its open fields and many superb views is one of Heath Roads gems. The former home of M*A*S*H author, Richard Hornberger, Jr. (pen name, Richard Hooker), this 1840's cape, while modernized, has kept the relaxed air of a shared coffee round the kitchen table. The layout allows one to take advantage of first floor living while the second floor is for additional family, guests, or a secluded office space. Enter through the spacious mudroom with its rustic features and room for all your outside apparel and accesories. The casual eat-in kitchen is next with its handy pantry adjacent. Next to that is the first floor laundry (no basement trips) and the direct access to the back deck for summer entertaining...and the views! An informal living room with a wood burning fireplace connects seamlessly with the 4-season sunroom with wrap-around windows to fully bring in the sights of Broad Cove. A primary bedroom on this floor with another fireplace and full bath close by makes day to day living easier. For more special occasions, the dining room with its fireplace and antique parlor stove, connecting to the kitchen completes the sensible circular flow of the down stairs. It is somewhat rare to have four bedrooms plus a full bath on the second floor of a cape, but then again, this is a rare offering. The stairwell up displays the handsome front hall and period newell post and bannister. The exterior photos speak for themselves, but don't miss the orchard of 6 apple trees, 2 pear trees, and a cherry tree. The property's vintage post and beam barn (37'x50') rounds out the era specific feel of the entirety while providing much in the way of storage for equipment, boats, workshops, whatever your needs may be.
