Iconic, brick Octagonal home steeped in history and recorded on the National Historic Registry. One of the most recognized and photographed homes in Maine, this stately home sits on lovely 2 acre in-town land that is open, level and well landscaped with plenty of open manicured space and waterfront on the Sheepscot River. Rarely do we have all these elements in one package. The Captain George Scott House, built in 1855 delights on all these accounts. It was inspired by the work of Orson Squire Fowler, who believed the octagon design would enhance the interactions of family resulting in an easier and more communal flow. The structural shape in combination with its 4 fireplaces make it more efficient to heat. Rooms radiate around a central core that culminates in a cupola at the top that serves to draw cool breezes throughout the home in the summer as well as providing delightful views. Unadulterated over the years, the feeling is one of comfort and warmth. The home is fascinating and special places beckon. Sunlight pours into a glassed in porch off the dining room and provides an inviting spot to linger. Directly off the kitchen, enjoy the wonderful summer room that that leads to outdoor relaxation under a pergola surrounded by beautiful hydrangea. The attached barn offers both functional workspace and storage. One can't help but want to wile away some hours on the shell patio overlooking the water with a book and good company. Wiscasset, often referred to as ''the Prettiest Little Village in Maine'', thrived during the shipping days and continues to be a vibrant community with boutique shops, restaurants, antique stores, and art galleries dotting Main Street. For boating enthusiasts, the Wiscasset yacht Club is a treasure, offering an economical opportunity for a boat mooring off the dock. Lots to love about this one!!

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
