Property Description

Some homes are simply lived in. Others are loved, preserved, and passed through generations with care. Captain Andrews' house was built circa 1790 and believed to be the 2nd oldest home in Winterport. This remarkable property carries more than two centuries of Maine history within its walls. Owned by the same family since 1972, the home has been thoughtfully updated and restored over the years, blending modern comfort with the timeless character that makes historic homes so special. Exposed hand cut ceiling beams in the kitchen, living room, first floor bedroom, and family room serve as beautiful reminders of the home's earliest days, while updates such as 200 amp power, two pellet stoves, a new forced air furnace, R20/R30 insulation, a four year old roof, and newer windows and doors bring peace of mind for today's living. Life here offers the rare feeling of being tucked away while still right in town. The back yard is surprisingly private, spacious, and welcoming, with a fenced in outdoor living area designed for every day enjoyment. Imagine quiet mornings in the garden, summer evenings around the grill, friends gathered on the huge patio around the fire pit, pets playing in the grass, and peaceful nights in the hot tub as the gardens change with the seasons around you. Just moments from Winterport's public landing on the Penobscot River, the park, local shopping, and an easy drive to both Bangor and Belfast / Camden areas, this home offers a lifestyle that is rooted in history, surrounded by comfort, and connected to the best of the area. This is more than an in town home with a large private yard. It is a rare opportunity to become part of a story that began over 200 years ago.
