About this home
Located in the National Register Historic district of Wiscasset village sits this circa 1780 architectural gem on a hill with partial Sheepscot River views. Altered circa 1880, it features Italianate Bay windows, intricate hand carved trim including corbels, stars, roping, etc. The home is surrounded by beautiful gardens, the town common, and historic homes. Renovated in 2020, it features a new roof (May 2026), new kitchen and baths, updated plumbing and wiring, custom cedar storm windows, custom Bali blinds, new hybrid water heater, and hybrid high efficiency furnace. It is expansive with eleven rooms and two full baths. There are three porches (one screened), a large lawn, and a lovely sitting area along the ell. A finished shop (formerly a garage) is attached with storage above. Period details include five fireplaces, crown moldings, wainscoting, tin and beamed ceilings, raised field paneling, all wood floors, murals, and exquisite trim. There are rock walls, brick walkways, granite steps, crushed granite driveway edged with cobblestones, a wrought iron fence, and bee pollinator gardens. The first-floor family room could serve as a master bedroom. The ell is comprised of the kitchen, workshop, screened porch, shop, bonus room, and large room now serving as a Pub entertaining area with porch. The new kitchen, a chef's dream, features recessed lighting, pumpkin pine floors, custom cabinets, black walnut and soapstone counters with undermount sink and swan neck faucet, eat-in area, pantry, VT Castings heat stove with brick hearth, gas programmable stove/oven, and GE Profile appliances. Character abounds in this home which is unparalleled in quality of construction by skilled artisans of yester year combined with thoughtful modern updates. Furnishings are negotiable. Formerly an antique shop with a prime location, it could also serve as a short-term rental....
