Step into a rare piece of Maine history at the Captain George Scott House, a unique brick octagon residence built in 1855 and beautifully positioned along the shores of the Sheepscot River in the picturesque village of Wiscasset. Inspired by the architectural vision of Orson Squire Fowler, this special home is full of character and thoughtful craftsmanship.
From the moment you enter, the care and attention devoted to preserving the home's historic integrity while seamlessly incorporating modern comforts is unmistakable. The stunning kitchen features granite countertops, a soapstone sink, and vintage-inspired Big Chill appliances, creating a space as functional as it is beautiful. Enjoy a quiet morning coffee in the cozy, glassed-in sunroom as the sun rises, then gather for summer dinners on the porch just off the kitchen, which opens to a lovely stone patio bordered by mature hydrangeas. Situated on an abundant 2+ acre lot, the grounds feature apple and linden trees, lily, daisy and lupine. The historic barn, equally rich with character, provides tons of room for workshop space or storage. Ideally located just a short stroll from the public landing, yacht club, library, restaurants, galleries, and boutiques. This one of a kind home is a once in a lifetime opportunity!
