Description

Step back in time in this historic Brewer residence, once home to renowned author and folklorist Fanny Hardy Eckstorm. Built in 1840, this four-bedroom, 1.5-bath home beautifully blends timeless craftsmanship with modern comfort.
From the moment you enter, you'll be captivated by the home's original details — built-in cabinetry, warm wooden floors, brick hearths, and custom millwork. Oversized windows bathe each room in natural light, highlighting both the formal living areas and the inviting family spaces.
One of the home's most stunning features is the charming addition, finished with exposed beams and designed for effortless entertaining — the perfect gathering space for family and friends.
Step outside to enjoy your own private backyard oasis, fully fenced for peace and privacy. Mature trees and lush landscaping create a tranquil retreat right in the heart of Brewer.
Located just blocks from the scenic riverwalks of Brewer and Bangor, riverfront dining, downtown shops, and local universities, this home offers the best of both worlds — historic charm and modern convenience.
Whether you're a history enthusiast, a lover of classic architecture, or simply seeking a home with character and warmth, this one-of-a-kind property invites you to write the next chapter of its remarkable story.
