OPEN HOUSE - SATURDAY, AUGUST 23RD 10AM-NOON
Welcome to 22 N. Penobscot Rd. Penobscot. Step back in time while enjoying modern comfort in this beautifully restored Victorian, rich with history and character. Commissioned by Abby Condon—one of Penobscot's most successful entrepreneurs—as a wedding gift for her daughter Lida, this home was designed as a smaller version of the Condons' grand Victorian on the knoll beside Northern Bay Market. Though Lida's life was tragically cut short in 1886 at just 22 years old, her portrait still hangs in its original place by the staircase, cherished by each owner since.
From the moment you arrive, the charm is unmistakable—ornate trim, a graceful wraparound porch, and a striking five-sided turret set the tone. Inside, original details shine, including 38 of the home's 40 original windows with stained glass, wood floors, arched doorways, a tiled fireplace, a claw foot tub, and an antique wood cooking stove. The turreted parlor flows through arched double doors to a formal dining room with a box bay window and fireplace—perfect for entertaining.
The second floor features the primary bedroom with a cozy wood stove and turret seating area overlooking Southern Bay, two bathrooms and a second bedroom. The third floor features two finished rooms - perfect for an artist or writer retreat.
The impressive post-and-beam barn—with a cupola overlooking the bay and a spacious second floor offers endless possibilities.
Ideally located for a quick commute to Bucksport, Castine or Blue Hill, this home is a rare blend of heritage, craftsmanship, and modern livability.
Pre-listing home inspection was done and is available for interested buyers. Reach out today for more information and to schedule your showing!
