Immerse yourself in the historic elegance of a residence built by a Sea Captain, standing since 1865 in the historic center of Searsport, Maine. This much loved, turnkey property, positioned on 0.69 surveyed acres, offers a serene setting, merging tranquility with a glimpse of the maritime horizon. Conveniently located just minutes from Belfast, this home allows you to enjoy all local amenities while avoiding higher taxes associated with that area.
The heart of the home features a spacious kitchen designed for joyful social gatherings and culinary delights, leading into expansive rooms on the ground level. Each room boasts tall ceilings that amplify the home's historic charm. On this floor, a versatile bedroom with an attached half bath currently serves as a refined library and complements the great dining & living rooms.
Ascending to the upper floor reveals two generously-sized bedrooms and a modern full bathroom, providing ample space for family and guests. The primary suite acts as a private sanctuary, equipped with a full bathroom, closet space, and a dedicated laundry area. Adjacent lies an expansive craft room, ideal for those envisioning a dedicated creative space, home office, or an additional fifth bedroom.
The property also includes a sizable first-floor workshop and a large garage with a second-story space, offering extensive storage or potential for further development. Insulated throughout, this turnkey home guarantees year-round comfort and efficiency.
With two distinct staircases, this property holds significant potential for investors interested in rental opportunities. This architectural feature allows for easy segmentation of living spaces, making it ideal for developing separate rental units or guest accommodations.
