    We are proud to introduce, The Captain Phineas Pendleton II House, Circa 1849. This Mid-Coast Maine Sea Captain's home awaits its new caretakers. Featuring 13 rooms, including five-seven bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths, the residence offers ample space for various lifestyles and needs. Previously utilized as both a residence and a chiropractor's office, the layout and separate entrances provide an ideal configuration for a home-based business. This lovely home boasts period woodwork and detailed craftsmanship, notable in 19th-century Italianate architecture. From the intricate workmanship throughout the interior to the exterior charm, this 19th-century Italianate jewel is sure to impress. Recently improved interior with upgraded bathroom and kitchen renovations; from walls and floors to ceilings and overhead lighting in most rooms, the upgrades were careful to preserve the woodwork throughout. Heat pumps were added for climate comfort. The widow's walk that offers seasonal peaks of the harbor, provides a peaceful retreat perfect for relaxing with a book. The property includes four acres of manicured lawns, some trails frequented by local wildlife. There are apple trees, abundant raspberry and blackberry bushes. While the setting offers a quiet, rural feel, it is located on the outskirts of downtown Searsport. You can easily walk to the harbor for public beach access, the boat launch, local waterfront parks, the Penobscot Marine Museum, the library, and neighborhood cafes and eclectic shops. The home is also connected to municipal utilities. Paved drive, detached 2-car garage, this property is a must see. The virtual tour generated by Cubicasa is an example of furnishings and finishings you can add to the home. It does not depict current interiors
