About this home
Rare opportunity in the Owl’s Head Historic District. 331 28th Street is a truly exceptional residence with 126 years of history and only three families of ownership. Built in 1901 and featured in House Beautiful, this architectural gem showcases the Medieval Rectilinear style with exquisite Gothic and Renaissance detailing. Meticulously preserved, the home retains its original character and craftsmanship throughout. Ornate wood carvings adorn both the exterior and interior, including hand-carved beams, intricate fireplace surrounds, and custom-designed furnishings—many of which remain in their original placements. Even the original fainting couch still graces the front room. With a seamless flow from room to room, this home is perfect for entertaining. A thoughtfully designed kitchen addition blends seamlessly with the home’s character while offering modern functionality. And the formal dining room is impressive with original details. The second level includes a primary ensuite, four additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a convenient laundry. The third floor has been transformed into a home theater. The renovated carriage house provides flexible living and work space, with an upper-level office and a lower-level game room. Outside, the beautifully curated gardens create a serene, park-like setting—perfect for relaxation or entertaining. A rare blend of history, architecture, and livability, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a landmark property....
