Included among the oldest homes on the Schoodic Peninsula and the very first home in Prospect Harbor, this historic village colonial seeks new ownership for the first time in almost 40 years. This offering's seafaring legacy shines through in the many exposed beams within the home, several of which were sourced from ships belonging to the home's first owner, Capt. William Handy. Built circa 1850, the home provides 1,849+/- sq. ft. of living space on 1.47 acres with views to the working waterfront of Prospect Harbor. The 1st floor consists of a living room, dining room, charming eat-in kitchen with wood stove & brick hearth, office, pantry/laundry room, workshop & a 3/4 bathroom. Many period elements remain intact, providing a quintessentially New England antique coastal home feel. Both the living & dining rooms look out to the sea. Heading to the 2nd floor, you'll find three bedrooms (two of which enjoy harbor views), a full bathroom and a walk-in attic storage area. The lawn in the front yard stretches almost to the edge of the harbor, with a row of other village homes surrounding. The backyard is a completely different setting...encircled by a small pond & dense forest and viewed from a small covered porch, this space is secluded and boasts a number of established ornamental & apple trees. The main home's roof shingles are new in 2022. Recent pro home & septic inspections have been conducted, including water quality testing. All inspection results are available. Easily one can meander down to the town pier and walk the small cove there. The Peninsula Elementary School is .4 miles away. A short car or bike ride away are all the treasures of the Schoodic Peninsula, including Acadia National Park, the village of Winter Harbor, Schoodic Arts for All, Jones Pond & the many local businesses and restaurants that help to create an enjoyable quality of life in this authentic Down East setting.
