Property Description
Perched on a hill and terraced gracefully down to the Penobscot River, this stunning historic Hampden home offers timeless charm, modern comfort, and exceptional views. Set on two beautifully landscaped acres at the site of the old town ferry landing, the property features a wraparound porch, expansive deck, and a private balcony off the primary suite - all with sweeping river vistas.
The park-like lot includes old-growth black walnut trees, maples, and other mature plantings, with stone terraces leading through extensive gardens to the peaceful riverfront. A true architectural highlight, the two-car barn combines form and function with a loft for storage and a dedicated woodworking shop.
Inside, the home offers four bedrooms and 2.5 baths, blending historic character with tasteful updates. The sun-filled kitchen features stainless steel appliances and detailed woodwork. The dining room is enhanced by an antique chandelier and built-in cabinet, while the double living rooms showcase hardwood floors, river views, and a charming corner fireplace.
Upstairs, the spacious primary suite includes two rooms, a full ensuite bath with soaking tub and separate shower, and a private balcony overlooking the gardens and river. The finished attic provides a versatile bonus area - ideal for a playroom, studio, or additional storage.
