Property Details for 48 Old Searsport Avenue, Belfast, ME 04915
Description
Steeped in local history and rich with Old World charm, ''The Little Stone Church on Meetinghouse Hill'' is a truly distinctive property in Belfast. Originally the site of the area's first Little Stone Church, the building was thoughtfully rebuilt after a fire while preserving much of its historic character and architectural influence. Inside, the former sanctuary has been transformed into a dramatic great room featuring original wood floors, soaring church windows, and abundant natural light. Detailed trimwork, inspired by the original Dutch Reform craftsmanship and recreated by A.E. Sampson & Son of Warren, adds to the home's remarkable character and attention to detail. Historic and artisan elements continue throughout the property, including original Christian Science doors, brick flooring, and period lighting fixtures in the foyer and adjoining bedroom area. The kitchen blends craftsmanship and functionality with handcrafted Victorian Millwork cabinetry built in the English Larder tradition, Tagina Italian tile flooring, and handmade decorative tiles from Antiquity Tile of Hampden. Additional features throughout the home include thoughtfully selected finishes, Ralph Lauren wall coverings, and extensive stone masonry that complement the property's timeless aesthetic. Outside, the landscaped grounds offer several inviting outdoor spaces, including the Moon Garden with its garden shed and ''The Roost,'' a separate structure well suited for hobbies, studio space, or workshop use. Currently utilized as a residence, the property may also offer potential for other uses, such as a gallery, florist studio, boutique gathering space, or small event venue, subject to local approvals. Located in Belfast's picturesque coastal community, this one-of-a-kind property offers a rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully restored piece of local history with distinctive architectural character and flexible possibilities.
