This stunning Carpenter Gothic style home stands grand, steeped in history and timeless elegance. Built by renowned architect Francis H. Fassett, this home has been lectured on by a Maine premier architectural historian. In contrast to the imposing façade, the sun-filled interior boasts 10' ceilings on the main floor and gracious proportions throughout. Formerly the rectory for the adjacent church, the current owner is only the second proprietor in 150 years. Special care was given during the renovations to preserve the historic charm and character of this handsome antique home. The vintage-style kitchen includes an abundance of hidden pantry space, allowing for an open, airy workspace. The formal front parlor can easily accommodate both living and dining space, opening up the potential for a first floor bedroom suite. Full height attic and attached carriage house offer potential for expansion, if desired. Perennial border gardens provide cut flowers throughout the season, and the fenced, dog-friendly backyard with expansive deck and patio offers great space for entertaining. ''Philo's Folly '' is one of Wiscasset's more Instagrammed houses, having been featured on ''Historical Homes of America'', ''Exteriors of Instagram'', and many others. The thoughtful and loving restoration has transformed this dwelling into a turn-key dream. Don't miss this exceptionally rare opportunity!
