About this home
In the heart of Searsport, Maine, a community that has recently undergone a multi-million-dollar revitalization, this historic brick building offers a truly unique opportunity. Newly paved roads, fresh sidewalks, charming streetlights, and an influx of new businesses have transformed the town into one of the most inviting coastal destinations in Maine. Built in 1848, this property is not only steeped in history but also built to last. Its full basement, set directly into bedrock, and the remarkable integrity of its brickwork have impressed commercial building inspectors, who regard it as one of the straightest and strongest structures of its kind. With ocean views and a prime location, it stands as a landmark investment. The first level features two versatile storefronts that can serve as retail or dining spaces, or be converted into apartments. Above, the second floor offers two beautifully remodeled apartments where old-world charm meets modern living--original wide plank floors, high ceilings, black quartz countertops, and sleek glass showers create a blend of character and comfort. The third floor is a stunning open studio apartment, highlighted by a subway tile kitchen and a one-of-a-kind marble-top bar, perfect for anyone seeking a memorable coastal residence. The fourth floor, a spacious attic with exposed beams, holds the potential for further development, breathing history and possibility into every corner. This property is more than real estate--it is an investment in a thriving town and a piece of Maine's coastal heritage. With its unmatched strength, historic beauty, and modern upgrades, this building will serve generations to come
