About This Home

As of October 2025

Circa 1871 Colonial, this handsome home sits stately on the spacious, .62 Acre lot, boasting ample room for outdoor recreation activity and more. Meandering all the way down to Mill Brook Stream, enjoy over 146' along the stream, watch the deer, geese, turnkeys and other wildlife as they playfully enjoy their habitat. I photographed multiple deer while walking around the property on a prelist visit. Walk to downtown Searsport Public Docks and waterfront parks, the post office, eclectic bistro, cafe', pubs and more. Searsport is enjoying a downtown revival with new businesses opening up alongside it's neighbor, The Searsport Marine Museum. This home has been conscientiously maintained and loved, visible from the uniquely good condition of the systems. With a few cosmetic updates, this 10 room home will be transitioned to her new caretaker for many more years to come. First floor offers a wonderful addition that offers a casual living room or office and a 2nd room from the lovely deck, which could be another sitting room or office. The country kitchen is around the corner from the dining room. The front foyer is very attractive with some period wood work. The front parlor is spacious and could be utilized in multiple ways. 2 Additional rooms complete the first fl along with a powder room. Upstairs are 3 bedrooms plus a 4th flex room that could be a nursery, or an upstairs media room; there is a back staircase that used to connect to the downstairs when this building was once a duplex. That staircase has since been boarded over but easily opened up again. Access to the basement is off the kitchen. Granite and stone, the boiler, boiler mate, electrical are updated. A detached 2 car garage with an attached shed offers the space you need for the autos & more. Did I mention, this property is zoned Commercial too! With Spectrum, enjoy your home office at it's best. This is a most ideal home and property within walking distance to the oceanfront and your own stream!
