Description
Breathtaking beauty awaits you in this 1820 home, with historic craftsmanship and details throughout. Each beautifully appointed and lovingly updated room in the ''Benjamin Wales House'' has its own unique character. Once the home of a ship captain, the dining room is paneled with cypress wood acquired on his travels. The stunning remodeled kitchen features marble island, slate counters & sink. A former B&B with potential to re-open, each bedroom includes an ensuite bath. Flying staircase, soaring ceilings, billiards room, library, central air, security and sprinkler systems. Extraordinary grounds with colorful perennials, meandering paths, and a large patio area. Enjoy your morning coffee on the deck overlooking the gardens or relax in the shade of the magnificent white magnolia as you listen to the sound of the waterfall. So peaceful you'll forget that you are only steps from downtown Hallowell's shops, restaurants, arts, music and the Kennebec River with its 7-mile rail trail. Centrally located, this home is also just minutes from the state Capitol of Augusta, and an easy drive to Portland, the Maine coast, and great Maine skiing. Perfect for entertaining a few friends or a large group, this home is a true masterpiece.
