North Berwick Residential

There are homes that are well built—and there are homes that reveal the hand of a true craftsman at every turn. ”Joiners Homestead” 149 Lebanon Road is one of those rare properties. Originally built in 1910 and extensively renovated by renowned Maine craftsman Foster Jones in 1990, this home reflects the extraordinary attention to detail for which Jones was known. A highly accomplished cabinetmaker and finish carpenter with Maine Coast Builders, Jones brought his mastery of traditional woodworking and architectural millwork into the home, creating an interior that is as much a showcase of craftsmanship as it is a residence. Throughout, discover beautifully handcrafted cabinetry and millwork featuring hand-cut dovetail joints, mortise-and-tenon joinery, wide-board construction and intricate details, multiple built-ins w/bull nose & curved drawer fronts. Remarkable are the distinctive gentle curved ceilings, adding warmth, character and a level of craftsmanship rarely found today. Jones’s talents extended beyond the main house. The extraordinary 36’ x 50’ detached heated workshop/barn, encompassing approximately 4500 square feet, was also created by Jones as part of his professional woodworking operation. Designed for serious craftsmanship, the structure offers exceptional scale, utility, electrical capacity and custom lumber storage. Today, this extraordinary space offers endless possibilities—a professional workshop, artist’s studio, collector’s garage, creative space, home business or simply an extraordinary venue for hobbies and projects. Set on approximately 2.5 beautifully landscaped and maintained acres in North Berwick, 149 Lebanon Road is a rare combination of historic character, exceptional craftsmanship and remarkable versatility located just 15 minutes to Ogunquit and Wells Beaches & access to 95.
