Property Description
Immerse yourself with the history & charm of this 1786 classic New England Federal home, located up from the banks of the tidal Sheepscot River in the picturesque village of Wiscasset, Maine. Nestled on a quiet street away from the hustle of downtown Wiscasset. Cleanse your soul with ocean breezes off the Sheepscot River as you marvel at this living piece of history. A sturdy Federal house with a treasure of fine 18th century architectural details with a patina of history, including 7 fireplaces, 4 in working order. Fabulous wide planked flooring not to mention large wooden beams that will hold anything up. Fireplaces are all over the house, some tucked into the most intriguing locations. A classic front hall with a winding staircase and, a back stairway as well. A delightful covered porch where you can relax and gaze out to the Sheepscot beyond. Why is the property being offered at this price? It is in need of cosmetic work, well shown in the photos. The hard work is complete. A basement and heating system worthy of a brand new home, new roofing shingles & 2 of the three chimneys have been completely rebuilt. Maybe a few new clapboards & some trim need replacing and they all need paint. The attached 24 x 17 barn looks rough until you see the inside has a sure footing and stabilized. An unusual amount of land accompanies this property as seen in the visual map (lot lines slightly off kilter). A garage & shed. Trust me, this is not for those who desire slick house with a flood of granite. This house if for those who cherish the integrity of antique buildings. Remember, this property stands proud after 236 years & will go on for many more years. There is a usable kitchen on the second floor & a great area on the first floor with a working cooking fireplace that would make a wonderful new kitchen. A great pantry, you will wonder, how did it survive to delight us today? There are numerous rooms for such a house so, come and see for yourself, what they can be for you
