About This Home

As of May 2023

Remarkable And Charming this 5 bedroom 6 bath home features a flexible floorplan, adaptable to nearly any lifestyle. Previously operated as The Night Fall Inn, it offers the possibility of a B&B or inn, with every bedroom served with a private bathroom. Perhaps you're looking for flex space to have home offices and room for the family & guests as well. Boasting a large first floor open concept, the custom kitchen and dining rooms look towards the water and yes indeed, there are some water views. The living room features a lovely bay window, double front doors with stained glass windows and an open staircase, leading to upstairs. There is a laundry room on the first floor, pantry and sufficient closet space. The wood floors are striking on this first floor, newly refinished. The 2nd level offers 4 en-suite bedrooms ~ 3 with water views. On the 3rd floor a lovely space features a bedroom, living area and full bath. Whatever your needs may be, you should consider this home. Built in 1872, this stately house has had many lives. In the 1920's its convenient location on Coastal Route 1 loaned itself to being a lodge, where travelers could have a meal, clean bed and for a nickel more, a bath! Updates to this classic, well cared for home include exterior and interior paint, electrical, plumbing, furnace, water heaters, central air, sprinkler system and more. The property is 350 yards of sidewalk from the pedestrian bride, spanning the mouth of the Passagassawakeag River, where it empties into the Belfast Bay, an inlet of the Gulf of Maine and Atlantic Ocean. Walk across the bridge through a working shipyard into the quintessential seaside town of Belfast. The Belfast Harbor Walk is a well maintained walk way which turns into The Belfast Rail Trail, ideal for biking & walking. Enjoy all Belfast has to offer; shops, galleries, farmers markets and restaurants. Owner has good net figures when the Inn was operated; which closed in 2022. A good investment!
