About This Home

As of August 2021

Presenting historic Victorian Landmark, aptly named: ''High Note.'' This elegant home is located in the beautiful village of Wiscasset, with easy walking access to the village center, waterfront, library, shops, and great eateries.
Built by master craftsmen in 1876, the custom woodwork and details throughout add great charm and character. Tall ceilings, large windows, and a stately staircase help highlight pleasing proportions, while the formal rooms flow together gracefully and create a sense of openness. Enjoy the many unique spaces to gather in for entertainment, or simply retreat to the turret and read your favorite book, all while looking out over two acres of the naturally landscaped grounds.
''High Note'' functioned as a Bed & Breakfast for the past 27 years, with the owners creating their private living quarters in the attached Carriage House.
This rare offering welcomes a new chapter in its already long and interesting history.

This is the lifestyle change you have been waiting for - Why wait any longer?
