    A prominent Castine home with a rich history. Built in 1819 for Joseph Bryant, a merchant and ship owner who dealt in real estate and the West Indian trade. The house was sold in 1836 to another local ship owner, Hezekiah Williams, who also served in the Twenty-Ninth and Thirtieth Congresses (1845-1849; Williams was the second of two Castine residents to be elected to the U.S. Congress). The house has been extensively updated in the new millennium and is now a comfortable home with modern conveniences and classic details. On the main floor are two traditional parlors and a dining room in the front of the house, and an open chef's kitchen, eating area and family room in the back. Two powder rooms, laundry, library and mudroom complete the first floor. Front and back staircases lead to the second floor, where there are four bedrooms, an office and three full baths. Two additional large bedrooms are on the third floor. A two-story attached barn could be used for vehicle storage. Trees frame the front entrance, which features an original leaded glass fan surrounding the door. A crushed stone parking area, perennial flower beds and shrubs complete the front of the property, and there is a private yard with mature plantings and a brick patio behind the house. This is a wonderful opportunity to own a large, updated Adams-style Federal home in the heart of Castine village.
