Property Description
Prior to its decades-long ownership by the current family, this meticulously maintained and charming village home was the residence of renowned artist Carroll Thayer Berry. Warm wood floors in excellent condition complement the quality of the updated windows throughout, while preserving the timeless character of classic New England village architecture. The home features formal living and dining rooms, four second-floor bedrooms, updated heating systems, a welcoming side porch, and a spacious entry room that leads directly to the oversized barn, offering vehicle parking and abundant second-floor storage. An exceptional offering in the heart of the village, the property includes nearly three-quarters of an acre--an uncommon find in such a central location. The expansive lot abuts Aldermere Farm, protected by the Maine Coast Heritage Trust, ensuring scenic pastoral views and preserved open space right in your backyard. Located less than half a mile from Rockport's famed Harbor Park, with water access and a public boat ramp, the home is also just a short stroll from local favorites including Seafolk Coffee and the acclaimed Nina June restaurant, a two-time James Beard Award semifinalist. Combining the enduring quality of a classic New England home with a rare oversized village lot and protected farmland views, this is a truly unique opportunity in one of Midcoast Maine's most desirable communities.
