Capture a piece of Harpswell's seafaring history! Built by Sea Captain Norton Stover in 1830, this stately home retains an historic right of way to the old stone wharf in Harpswell Harbor where the captain oversaw the construction of 21 masted schooners. The ship captains house retains all of its Greek Revival classic character while providing the comfort of updated amenities. A major renovation in 2015 brought new life to the house with new systems, windows, wiring, plumbing, insulation, doors, interior and exterior paint and new kitchen and baths. The current owner has added a generously proportioned 2 car garage with electric car hook up and a new mudroom containing a pet bathing station. In every direction water activities abound. The deeded right of way grants deep water access to Harpswell Harbor. There is a mooring for your boat that also will convey. Within steps of the house is the Curtis Cove Preserve providing access to the shore of Middle Bay on the west side of the peninsula. Less than a half mile away is Mitchell Field which provides shore access as well as walking trails popular with the local canine population. The beauty of the house is enhanced by the original wide plank flooring and high ceilings. Views of Harpswell sound and Orrs and Bailey Islands can be enjoyed from the living room and study and 2 of the upstairs bedrooms. The house sits on one acre with a level grassy lawn and small apple orchard. As a bonus the house still has an current home warranty is good for 3 more years. Other improvements include new heat pumps, water heater, well pump, and whole house generator. Do not miss this unique opportunity!
