Property Description
Perched high above the serene Dennys River, this sun-filled 1788 Cape was built by William Kilby, one of the area's earliest settlers. A timeless presence along the river, the home offers peaceful three-season views of the river and the gentle sounds of flowing water and birdsong—best enjoyed from the comfort of your gazebo. Inside, the home is sunny, warm and welcoming, with a spacious insulated entryway perfect for kicking off boots or dropping groceries. The eat-in kitchen features a charming nook and a tucked-away pantry beneath the stairs. A cozy fireplace in the living room adds ambiance, complemented by a well-tuned piano ready for gatherings. The first-floor also includes a full bath and laundry, and a flexible formal dining room, currently used as a bedroom and sewing space. Upstairs, you'll find three sun-filled bedrooms with a landing at the top of the stairs. Outside, the property offers raised garden beds, heirloom apple trees, and two outbuildings—a new shed for tools and an older one ideal for drying garlic or extra storage. Recent updates include a new roof, hardwood floors, and a propane heating system, as well as a generator and Google Nest thermostat for no worries when you are away. Set in a region rich with natural beauty and history, the Dennys River has served as a vital waterway for over 9,000 years, once connecting the Passamaquoddy people to the Atlantic. Today, it remains one of the last strongholds of the endangered Atlantic salmon. This is more than a home—it's a piece of Maine's living history, nestled in a peaceful riverside setting.
