About this home

The first two buildings in a group of buildings known as the Peters Block, the corner building built in 1837 by Andrew Peters and the adjoining building built by John Hubbard totaling 9,425 square feet, have historical and architectural significance. Joined by a common wall, the State St. building has a first-floor entry and reception area, conference rooms and a kitchen. The second floor houses several office spaces, some with original tin walls and bead board wainscoting and fireplaces. The most notable feature is the third floor ballroom with original domed tin ceiling and walls, and fireplace. The Main St. building has more office space with a graceful curved wall on the corner adding architectural interest on the brick exterior as well as the interior spaces. There is a large storage area on the third floor and on the fourth floor the attic space has interior brick walls and the original exposed framing. The ground floor corner space tenant owns a very successful restaurant. At the rear of the property is ample parking with 80 ft. on Union River, and a few steps from the River Walk along the shore. With endless possibilities and a prime river front location in the heart of downtown Ellsworth, this property offers a rare opportunity for investors or businesses to be a part of the town's interesting past and it's vibrant future.
