Put the finishing touches on the recent renovation of this incredible property and personalize this house with a Choice Renovation loan with FreddieMac or other similar loan option...(https://www.nerdwallet.com/blog/mortgages/choice-renovation-loan/) Impeccable Location meets Million Dollar Views in this ongoing remodel of an 1858 Victorian perched high up on one corner of historic Amesbury Hill overlooking Rockport Harbor. Photos in this listing taken at various stages of the renovation. An Impeccable Location. No need for a car to get to fun. Take your beach towel and stroll down the path through your backyard to Goodies Beach (a small sand beach) just across the street for a swim. Or grab your fishing rod and stroll over to the dock for some morning fishing. Hop on a day charter for a boat ride along the coast, or moor your own boat where you can keep an eye on it from your bedroom window high above. Stroll across the bridge into town for dinner or drinks. There is nothing quite like living in one of the most prominent houses perched on historic Amesbury Hill in the heart of one of the most scenic coastal towns in Maine. Million Dollar views dominate from nearly every window to the east. Relax in the morning in a luxurious king size bed while you gaze down upon the shimmering water of the Rockport harbor with views on out to beyond Penobscot Bay. Sip your morning coffee on the couch in the sitting area off the dining room while you watch the waves crash on the rocks of nearby islands, or step through the French doors onto the new deck and soak up the sun while you watch dozens of sailboats bob gently in the water. Or spend the day in a comfortable chair set into the large bay window overlooking the harbor while you read a book or visit with friends that are visiting partly to enjoy your views! The house has a cozy feel to it though it contains 4+ bedrooms, 3 different sitting areas, 2 kitchens, 3 bathrooms, pantry with laundry, mud room, workshop and a separate studio just steps from the sidewalk below the house. This two story house with it’s 3rd floor attic dominated by huge round windows is part of the historic district and retains much of its character and authentic elements (barge board exterior trim, interior moldings, and wavy glass windows) but it is not restricted by historic status and updates are allowable and many have been completed during renovation including updated bathrooms with new fixtures, new flooring and marble accents. Updated kitchen with Jenn-Air appliances await the installation of countertops. Refinished wood floors gleam throughout and freshly painted walls and trim bring new life to the interior. A new powder bath, new heating systems, new heat-pump water heater, new chimney, complete update of electrical, plumbing and more have brought this 1858 gem into the modern century. The property is being sold AS IS in it's current condition. Buyers and agents should email 5BirchRockport@gmail.com to schedule a showing.
