This 1820 Greek Revival landmark at 185 North Road in Bridgton is so crisply understated that every room looks like an Andrew Wyeth dry-brush painting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">All of the paneling is original, the wainscoting single-board.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The magic goes down to the floorboards. \u201cDuring repairs we found letters sent to the family during the Civil War,\u201d says seller Dale Daniels, 64, a former L.L.
