A prominent Castine home with a rich history. Built in 1819 for Joseph Bryant, a merchant and ship owner who dealt in real estate and the West Indian trade. The house was sold in 1836 to another local ship owner, Hezekiah Williams, who also served in the Twenty-Ninth and Thirtieth Congresses (1845-1849; Williams was the second of two Castine residents to be elected to the U.S. Congress). The house has been extensively updated in the new millennium and is now a comfortable home with modern conveniences and classic details. On the main floor are two traditional parlors and a dining room in the front of the house, and an open chef's kitchen, eating area and family room in the back. Two powder rooms, laundry, library and mudroom complete the first floor. Front and back staircases lead to the second floor, where there are four bedrooms, an office and three full baths. Two additional large bedrooms are on the third floor. A two-story attached barn could be used for vehicle storage. Trees frame the front entrance, which features an original leaded glass fan surrounding the door. A crushed stone parking area, perennial flower beds and shrubs complete the front of the property, and there is a private yard with mature plantings and a brick patio behind the house. This is a wonderful opportunity to own a large, updated Adams-style Federal home in the heart of Castine village.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
