Welcome to 47 Chapman Street in Bethel, Maine - a beautifully restored historic treasure blending timeless elegance with modern innovation. Standing proud on a generous .8-acre lot, this home offers rare in-town privacy while being just a short stroll to the very heart of Bethel. An iconic farmhouse and pristine barn are a testament to thoughtful craftsmanship now paired with the conveniences of modern living.
Originally built in 1868 by renowned carpenter Josiah Dutton and expanded in the 1880s by businessman Robert Chapman, this home has been reinvented from 2020 to 2022. The restoration included updating appliances, windows, ''house'' systems, and finishes while prioritizing energy efficiency with six heat pumps, two gas fireplaces, and a conversion from oil to propane heating.
The interior blends historic charm with modern luxury. Two updated bathrooms offer contemporary touches, while the gorgeous primary bed and new bath elevates comfort with elegant design. The original milking room has been transformed into a light-filled, four-season sunroom and art studio, providing a perfect space to relax and to create.
The 1868 barn retains its rustic character while being thoughtfully modernized with enhanced lighting, cubbies, a ski rack, and a gardener's dream shed in the basement. Outside, an Invisible Fence system ensures the yard is pet-friendly, and the low-maintenance gardens provide stunning views and pollinator habitats year-round.
This property isn't just a home; it's a serene retreat in one of Bethel's most sought-after neighborhoods. Whether you're relaxing in the gardens, listening to the evening wood thrush, or exploring the nearby village, 47 Chapman Street offers the perfect blend of history, comfort, and natural beauty.
