Waterfront Home! Welcome to a piece of history, lovingly preserved and ready to embrace its next caretaker. Built in 1847 by the shipbuilder Joseph Sorenson, this captivating home sits proudly atop a .82-acre hillside overlooking the serene Penobscot River. Included in this offering is an additional .67-acre lot across Water St., boasting 125 feet of riverfront once used as a bustling Steamship Wharf and the renowned Williams & Arey Shipyard site. The property includes a 3,000 lb. granite mooring, submerged approximately 8 feet into the water, awaiting revival if you can find chain. Step inside to find a residence rich in both character and modern comfort. With 5 bedrooms, office & 2 full baths, there's ample space for family and guests. The kitchen has custom-built cherry cabinets. Enjoy the cozy ambiance of the Franklin Wood Stove. First-floor laundry with utility sink and closet. Updates enhance the home's allure and functionality. Imagine basking in natural light filtering through solid wood double-pane windows, the reliability of upgraded electric service, or the tranquility of the second-floor front hall/reading nook and full bath. A part of the attic has been transformed into a charming music room/office, offering breathtaking river views—a perfect retreat for inspiration. Relax on two cedar-planked decks or unwind sitting in the screened-in porch, all while relishing the riverside vista. The property has 2 chimneys lined with stainless steel liners, a sealed foundation, and the addition of a new barn in 2019, providing workshop space and room for two cars. The barn's 2nd floor, connected to the music room, offers potential for additional living space or continued use as storage. This home embodies a labor of love, with extensive landscaping and gardens, where each restoration and enhancement have honored its storied past. Now, it awaits a new steward—someone who shares a passion for historical craftsmanship and a desire to continue the legacy of home.
