This 188-Year-Old Maine Home Looks Like a Nostalgic Christmas Card
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." You could assume that moving from the hustle and bustle of New York City to the tight-knit community of Lovell, Maine (population: 1,104), might lead to having a smaller social circle, but for Sean Litchfield and Zachary Violette, that was surprisingly not the case. It turns out that buying a classic Greek Revival home on a 1.5-acre lot in the middle of town was plenty to garner greetings and goodwill. "When we moved in, a steady stream of people began arriving with pies," says Zachary. "Everyone knows the 'Kimball-Chandler house,' so they all knew who we were pretty quickly."

Madison Cook for a more affordable community
I’m writing to support Madison Cook for Maine State House District 39 (Belfast, Belmont, and Northport). I was lucky enough to purchase a home in Maine before the pandemic that didn’t break the bank.

Protect your property rights. Vote no on Rockport Articles 2 and 3

I’m retired now but I spent many years working in Rockport homes while they were being renovated or newly built, and I collaborated closely with town officials on inspections. Rockport’s existing inspection regulations are already robust and homeowners are very conscientious about health and life safety.
