This classic 1824 brick Federal home sits on Belfast's historic Primrose Hill, just steps from the heart of town and the Penobscot Bay shoreline. Known as the Governor Anderson House, the property was home to Maine's Governor Hugh J. Anderson in the 1800s. The deep, shaded lot (0.34 acres) is enclosed by a stone wall that lends a secluded ''secret garden'' feel to the property, yet the house is within a two-minute walk of the vibrant downtown with restaurants, shops, entertainment, the Belfast Co-Op, art galleries, two farmers markets, and an iconic waterfront all right on your doorstep! Numerous historical features of this spacious four-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath home have been preserved, inside and out. Highlights include original brickwork, intact period moldings, hardwood floors, high ceilings, and nine original fireplaces. This unique gem is an expansive canvas, ready to be restored to its landmark status in the heart of Belfast. Because updating and renovation of systems and features will be called for, the house is being sold ''As Is.'' With this transition in mind, the seller has primed the property for contemporary upgrades, including a new electric service entrance, 200amp panel and subpanel in 2024. The property also features a two-story garage (24' x 36'), built in 1999 and ideally suited for conversion to an artist's studio, apartment, or in-law residence. A second outbuilding (12' x 16'), used by the prior owner as an office, offers additional possibilities as a garden shed or workshop. This is a rare opportunity to own a stunning property rife with history right in the middle of MidCoast Maine's most desirable waterfront communities.
