## Description

### Agent Description
The Joshua Merrill House, c.1805, affectionately known as the Old Toll House, is one of Falmouth's most admired historic residences. Meticulously restored and thoughtfully updated, this exceptional waterfront home has been recognized by local historians as one of the town's finest examples of historic preservation. Privately set amidst mature perennial gardens with sweeping views of the Presumpscot River, the home beautifully blends period craftsmanship with modern comforts. Historic details include 9-over-12 windows, original Indian shutters, wide pine floors, Rumford fireplaces, and remarkable millwork throughout. The custom fern-green kitchen serves as the heart of the home, featuring quartzite countertops, bespoke cabinetry, a dedicated butcher-block baking station, wine refrigeration, and premium appliances. Adjacent living and dining spaces are designed to capture stunning tidal river views and spectacular sunsets. The second floor offers three additional bedrooms and a full bath, while recent updates and fresh interior finishes provide turnkey convenience. Situated along one of only four Audubon-designated flyways in Maine, the property offers an extraordinary opportunity to observe seasonal migrations of countless bird species. Located in Falmouth's coveted "Flats" neighborhood, the home enjoys unparalleled convenience to Portland's vibrant downtown, leading medical facilities, and Portland International Jetport. Rich in history, character, and natural beauty, The Joshua Merrill House represents a rare opportunity to own one of Maine's most enchanting waterfront homes.
