Steeped in history yet masterfully reimagined for modern living, this beautifully restored 1890 farmhouse sits along 225 feet of tidal waterfront on the Passagassawakeag River, where it gracefully opens into Penobscot Bay. With over 3,200 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, this rare offering captures sweeping water views from three sides as the river gently meanders around the property.
Since purchasing the home in 2004, the current owners have completed a meticulous, to-the-studs renovation, blending historic character with enduring craftsmanship and modern systems throughout. A 600-square-foot addition was seamlessly integrated, enhancing both flow and function while preserving the farmhouse's original charm.
Perfectly sited to embrace its natural surroundings, mornings begin on the welcoming front porch with coffee and breathtaking sunrises over the water. Evenings are equally magical, with glowing sunsets enjoyed from the private back patio, an ideal setting for entertaining family and friends against a stunning waterfront backdrop.
The thoughtfully designed layout offers flexibility and comfort, featuring a full bedroom and bathroom on the first floor, ideal for guests or single-level living, and three additional bedrooms with 1.5 baths upstairs. Every space reflects intentional design, quality renovation, and an appreciation for its coastal Maine setting.
This is more than a home, it's a private waterfront sanctuary where heritage architecture meets refined living on one of Midcoast Maine's most scenic tidal rivers.
