Property Description

The Lilac Cottage - A Wiscasset Landmark
Located in the heart of Wiscasset, directly across from the picturesque village green, the Lilac Cottage stands as a treasured piece of local history. Built in 1768, this classic New England Cape is one of the earliest homes in the region and has long served as a beloved landmark for a thriving antiques business.
Lovingly maintained by its current ownerâ€''a scholar of American history and New England colonial antiquesâ€''the home retains its architectural integrity and original features, thoughtfully blended with modern amenities for today's lifestyle.
A striking feature of this home is its tall center chimney, which services five fireplaces, each adding to the warm and inviting atmosphere.
The property offers endless possibilities for an in-home or on-site business, with its charming layout and prominent location.
The grounds are a gardener's dream, with mature plantings throughout, including rare yellow magnolia, black raspberry, cherry trees, and, of course, the lilacs through out the property that inspired the home's name.
Also included is a second cottage on the lotâ€''perfect for guests, a studio, or an income generating rental. Both structures share a lovely stone patio, ideal for outdoor gatherings.
Just a short walk to the waterfront and public dock, as well as the galleries, restaurants and the shops downtown has to offer, the Lilac Cottage offers the perfect blend of small-town charm, rich history, and modern convenience.
Pure and iconic, this home exemplifies 18th-century New England architecture, with its classic proportions and cozy setting. A rare opportunity to own a genuine piece of Wiscasset's heritage. Showing starts 6/1.
