Built circa 1878 and known as the Alonzo R. Small House, this sea captain's stately Victorian-era New Englander with Italianate details offers a rare opportunity to become the next steward of a property rich in history, character, and Downeast Maine charm. Prominent bay windows, period trim, and a covered porch reflect the craftsmanship of its era, while views of Narraguagus Bay can be enjoyed from nearly every room. Inside, original wood floors, decorative ceilings, built-ins, substantial trim work, an antique cast-iron wood-burning cookstove, and fireplace preserve the home's period character. The first floor features a welcoming foyer, formal living and dining rooms, family room, great room, full kitchen, and additional butler's kitchen. The second floor offers five bedrooms and a full bath, while a walk-up third-floor attic provides substantial additional space and possibilities. Outside, mature grounds include fruit trees, open lawn, and a stream meandering along two sides of the property, creating a natural boundary. The home has been well loved through generations and offers its next owner the opportunity to thoughtfully refresh and restore it. While there is deferred maintenance to address, its architectural character, setting, and historic details provide an exceptional foundation for revitalization. From the house, views stretch toward the Narraguagus Bay, reinforcing the maritime character that has defined this property for nearly 150 years. Milbridge provides everyday conveniences including parks, grocery store, pharmacy, library, banks, medical center, public boat launch, restaurants, and the Milbridge Theatre and Community Arts Center. Schoodic Point in Acadia National Park is just 30 minutes away, with Campobello Island, Quoddy Head Lighthouse, and Bar Harbor within an hour. Bangor International Airport is just over an hour away.
