On the historic north end of Washington St, where the Kennebec runs broad and tidal, an early 19th-century Colonial Cape holds roughly 250 feet of river frontage and a private deepwater dock. It's the kind of combination almost impossible to find on this stretch of the Maine coast. The Magoun/Page… Read More Estate has stood here, looking east across the water, since about 1825. Four bedrooms and two full baths spread across approximately 2,500 square feet, with 0.74 acres. A new roof in 2021, and a whole-house generator for Maine weather. The 9' x 16' dock, reached by a 40-foot aluminum ramp, is built for the Kennebec's tide, usable across the river's full range, with deepwater access at the float. Over the wraparound farmers porch and through the Dutch door at the back, the kitchen, breakfast nook with bay window, and dining room open east toward the river. Stunning water views and light pouring through divided-light windows onto wide pine floors worn smooth by generations. Millwork and textured plaster walls carry the home's age without overstating it. The great room, finished in later hardwood, centers on an original cooking hearth with exposed brick, a substantial timber mantel, and the working details that anchor the home's earliest roots. Upstairs, a historic staircase with turned balusters and painted risers leads to light-filled rooms with antique glass doorknobs, skeleton-key hardware, and Federal-era touches. Nearly every space holds something of the past: preserved fireplaces, aged pine floors, and afternoon light through old window glass. The grounds have the feel of an established New England garden with stone borders, rhododendrons, granite steps, and lawn falling gently to the water. A carriage house sits on the north side of the lot. Mornings start with coffee in the east-facing nook. In summer, the boat is a few steps from the kitchen door; in winter, the hearth does what it was built to do. Minutes to downtown with an easy drive to Brunswick & Portland Read Less
