Property Description
This remarkable Federal Style Home is reported to have been designed by Charles Bulfinch, the first American-born professional architect to practice. His designs are notable for their simplicity, balance and good taste. The federal style dominated early 19th-century American architecture. The home was contracted to be built by David Longfellow (1800-1859), whose family was one of the founding families of the Town of Machias. The home's original features have been skillfully and lovingly restored and it is well suited for a family, professional office, or a combination of the two. The ample 3358 sq ft of heated living space features 4 bedrooms (2 bedrooms w/half baths) and additional spaces suitable for office or business spaces. A few new improvements include: dual furnace heating system, heat pump (w/AC), heat pump hot water heater, new appliances, cabinetry, granite counter tops, wood flooring, electrical upgrades including a 240V electrical charging line installed by the driveway. The adjacent and lovely gabled cottage (circa 1900) features dentil molding and bay windows with 931 sq ft of space. The space could be remodeled as a studio, guest cottage, or business space. This beautiful property will forever remain a significant part of the rich history of Downeast Maine.
