About This Home
As of December 2025Move quickly to tour this historic Cape and enjoy sunrises over the Damariscotta River and proximity to all of the Damariscotta region's amenities. Just minutes from town but a world away, this rare Cape originally built circa 1848 invites you to experience the timeless tranquility of the Maine lifestyle. Estate quality landscape and stonewalls surround the home with too many heirloom planting to list -- watch the birches bend and the lilacs blossom while you plan your adventures! A three season sunroom offers dining and relaxation while a stone patio with custom outdoor fireplace draws friends and family for evening revilary. Hike into Baker Forest's 300 conserved acres right out your backdoor... this property abuts the forest and is nearby many conserved areas, boat launches, and more. Many updates to electrical, plumbing, and structural components make this home a breeze to own. Opportunity for more finished space on the second floor where plumbing work has been completed to develop another bathroom, too. A detached garage and standby generator offer year-round convenience. Property was once a part of the Frances Perkins family estate - the new Frances Perkins National Monument is just a few houses down the road. Close to Miles Hospital, Boothbay, Camden, and more. Showing start today, and offers will be considered as received.
