Property Description
The Watson Homestead is one of the loveliest, and said to be the oldest, of the center chimney capes on the Hancock Point Peninsula. Built in the late 1700's, when they knew how to site houses, this one sits on slightly elevated 2.05 acres with a small field on the southerly line and stately pines, spruces, a few old apple trees on the north side, and surrounded by conservation land. With a good many original details intact, such as original doors and hardware, three interesting wood-burning fireplaces, one in the front parlor, one in the keeping room and one in the back first floor bedroom, the charm has been maintained. A long ell connects the kitchen to a shed and barn, all south facing offering a sunny kitchen with a wood cook stove to gather around in a warm and inviting room. An architectural classic, the house needs considerable work and with meticulous and knowledgeable restoration, it will be the beauty it once was. Near great restaurants, tennis courts, beaches, harbors, some within walking and bike riding distances, this is a fabulous location which also includes the Schoodic branch of Acadia National Park, a half hour away.
