Sun-filled living spaces capture the beauty of the bay from nearly every angle, while the gracious proportions and historic craftsmanship reflect an era of quality rarely found today.
Outside, expansive grounds invite you to relax, entertain, or simply enjoy the ever-changing scenery of Maine's iconic coastline. A detached four-car heated garage with additional storage above offers abundant space for vehicles, hobbies, or future possibilities.
Just minutes from Rockland's vibrant waterfront, acclaimed restaurants, art galleries, marina, and year-round community events, this remarkable property combines the elegance of a grand coastal estate with the convenience of in-town living.
