Welcome to 13 Federal Street, a remarkable log-and-stone retreat on Shaker Pond in historic Alfred, Maine. Manicured lawns, mature trees and old stone walls frame west-facing water views and spectacular sunsets. Once part of a private estate, the home conveys with 4.99 acres within an intimate six-home 55+ community encompassing 26.74 acres and approximately 1,725 feet of waterfront. Built by Tobique Homes of New Brunswick, the 5,246-square-foot, two-bedroom residence showcases massive spruce logs, rich stonework and exceptional craftsmanship. Additional bedrooms can be easily added within the spacious footprint, and the septic can be expanded to accommodate them. The dramatic Great Room features soaring cathedral ceilings, open living and dining areas, a stone gas fireplace and generous windows overlooking the pond. The kitchen includes a classic cookstove, granite counters and a country-style sink. A first-floor bedroom, full bath, cozy den and four-season porch offer inviting spaces for everyday living. Upstairs, an office and sitting area lead to a spacious primary suite with beautiful water views, a full bath, and a walk-in closet. The walkout lower level is designed for fun, with a 1950s-style soda fountain, jukebox and pool table. Radiant heat, central air, a Viessmann furnace, water filtration, a standby generator, and security and temperature-monitoring systems provide year-round comfort. Additional features include a heated log garage with 14-foot interior clearance for an RV, unfinished space above, a separate generator cabin, and a screened gazebo.
