About This Home

As of May 2021

Welcome to the Thomas Pitcher House, a classic Italianate located only minutes from downtown shops, restaurants, harbor, city park, and hospital. This exquisite home has been updated with modern amenities, while maintaining the charm that characterizes the oceanside city of Belfast. A spacious, updated chef's kitchen features stainless steel appliances, butcher block and granite countertops, an AGA chef's stove, double wall ovens, and a center work island with seating for four. The in-wall gas fireplace and lighted cabinetry create a warm ambiance sure to make the kitchen a treasured gathering space. The living room features a hardwood floor, built-ins and a high ceiling with ornate crown molding. Large windows, recessed seating areas, and a new parlor stove inset in the original marble fireplace make the dining room an inviting space for both formal and casual dining. The cozy library with original tin ceiling is the ideal space for a home office. A first floor bedroom suite with full bath and sitting room offers an opportunity for first floor living. Four large, bright bedrooms on the second floor each features its own updated private bath, a perfect arrangement for a bed and breakfast venture. Enjoy relaxing on the two front porches, overlooking a well landscaped yard with perennials, fruit trees and a classic white picket fence. A covered deck in the back yard provides an area for outdoor entertaining. The large carriage house offers two stories of storage space. This home, a unique blend of lovingly preserved history and updated amenities of today, awaits your future plans.
