Welcome to the historic Witham House, a beloved antique cape dating to 1790, thoughtfully restored and maintained just minutes from the quaint village of Castine. This lovingly-cared for home offers a unique opportunity in one of Maine’s most treasured coastal communities, blending authentic New England character with modern comfort and an easeful, inviting flow.
Rich in period detail, the home is anchored by its classic center chimney and features two fireplaces that bring warmth and historic charm to the main living spaces. Its south-facing orientation fills the interior with beautiful light throughout the day, with shifting sunrises and sunsets that move across the home with the seasons. Original wide-plank wood floors, exposed beams and cozy gathering areas create a natural sense of continuity from room to room. The custom kitchen serves as the heart of the home, opening to the dining and living areas, while a recently added first-floor master bedroom provides easeful convenience. A sweet corner office offers an ideal space for reading, writing or remote work.
Peek-a-boo views of Hatch Cove and Smith Cove can be enjoyed year-round from the kitchen, while French doors open from the dining room onto a spacious deck overlooking beautifully landscaped gardens, original stone walls and mature shade trees. The setting is both peaceful and inspiring, with ample space for gardening, outdoor dining or simply enjoying the rhythms of coastal Maine. A one-car garage with lofted storage and a spacious custom-built garden shed provide generous storage and functional utility.
Located along a historic stretch of Castine Road, the property offers easy access to the many treasures of the Blue Hill Peninsula, including coastal preserves, beaches, farmers' markets, galleries, local shops and scenic shoreline. Camden, Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor and Stonington are just one hour away and the village of Blue Hill is a mere twenty minutes.
Whether enjoyed as a year-round residence or seasonal retreat, the Witham House offers a rare opportunity to become the next steward of a truly special coastal Maine home.
