This unique and charming Gothic Revival sits back off the road on a generous 1.7 acre lot, minutes to downtown Rockland, its harbor, galleries, shops, fine restaurants, the Farnsworth Museum and The Center for Maine Contemporary Art. High ceilings, lots of light, updated kitchen and baths, pine and fir floors. The front parlor and living room have oversized windows, built-in bookcases and stunning fireplaces. The primary bedroom is a generous size with an ensuite bathroom and walk-in closet. Large office with access to the pastoral back yard, complete with a garden, fruit trees, raspberry bushes and garden shed and out building. Large 3 story barn, attached workshop and a boat building complete this historic home built by native son, Davis Tillson. Among many of Tillson's accomplishments, he was responsible for the construction of the huge Tillson's Wharf for the city of Rockland. Bring your design touches and be the next stewards of this wonderful property. Note that currently there is only minimal furniture in the home. The interior photos were taken when the home was fully furnished.
