About this property

Historical Retreat in the heart of Midcoast Maine

Two levels of late 1700 s Colonial living that has all the modern updates and conveniences yet retains the original character of the period.
Large well appointed kitchen, comfortable bedrooms and a deck overlooking the Medomak river make this updated yet charming home the perfect get away.
With 1 1/2 acres of park-like grounds, gardens and fruit trees to enjoy, you may find it hard to leave for the many local restaurants, museums and tourist spots nearby.

About the host

Hosted by PAUL

Host profile image
I semi- retired to Maine in 2012 after many years working on the Pacific coast. Originally from Massachusetts, New England kept calling me back. I keep myself busy by working the waters here, construction, boat repairs and anything else that keeps me going. Mostly a 1700s Colonial brick home.

Why they chose this property

On my 2 week search of roughly 100 properties looked at in 2006 I continuously drove by this one. It was bigger, older and more than I was wanting yet it was there calling every time I drove by. I asked my realtor to book a showing just to see the antiquity. It had me as soon as I entered the kitchen on that March day.

What makes this property unique

This house has had a lot of life in it's 200 plus years. As with all the lives lived here, the house has had many transformations and many purposes, seen many things and weathered many storms. While scarred in places by it's mere presence on the Maine Coast, it remains a vigilant witness to ever changing life of New England and the perseverance of it's original settlers.
