Built in 1901, the historic Buck's Harbor Inn spent the final decades of the 20th century as the beating heart of Buck's Harbor. Under innkeepers Ann and Peter Ebeling, the house welcomed sailors, offering a hot meal, comfortable bed, and genuine Maine hospitality. Locals gathered here too, for food, drink, and easy conversation. The Inn later became the Ebeling family residence-and today, a rare historic offering on the Blue Hill Peninsula. The property is located in the heart of the village-steps from the waterfront The welcoming open porch is the perfect perch for watching village life unfold. Inside, the foyer opens to a staircase and one of two parlors. The first floor also offers a formal dining room, a spacious kitchen with commercial upgrades, and an enclosed, heated sun porch with a 1/2 bath. Back stairs off the kitchen once led to the maids' quarters. The layout on the 2nd and 3rd floors easily accommodated guests in the inn's working years and offers flexibility today with its 6 bedrooms, maids' quarters, 2-FBs, 1-1/2B and sitting room. Toward the back of the home-a spacious workshop and 2-car garage. To the rear, a private 1-2BR apartment with private entrance, open kitchen-dining-living area, and FB-ideal for extended family, guests, or rental income. Tucked beneath, there is a versatile multipurpose room, once used as an office, with private entrance and easy potential as a quiet retreat or hobby room. S. Brooksville is in the midst of a quiet revitalization. Just steps away, the village offers Buck's Harbor Yacht Club, Buck's Harbor Market, Buck's Restaurant, Buck's Harbor Marina, along with a newly opened ice cream and coffee shop-signs of a village on the upswing while still holding onto its timeless character. Whether envisioned as a beloved family homestead, a multigenerational property with the rear apartment providing flexibility, 1 Steamboat Wharf has a genuine historic, well-documented story in a village setting that has captured hearts
