About the Listing 2766 - 020750
Winfield Scott Pendleton House: A Historic Islesboro Gem. Step back in time and discover the rich history of this stately 1887 Federal-style home, once owned by Winfield Scott Pendleton, a prominent ship captain and influential figure in Islesboro. Built shortly after Pendleton acquired the property in 1876 from his parents, the house served as a summer retreat for the Pendleton family until 1959. This grand home with its distinctive cupola and expansive wrap-around porch is perfect for enjoying the summer breeze and watching island life unfold. French doors off the porch invite you into this elegant old home and once inside the architectural details speak to a bygone era of detailed craftsmanship. Discover an elegant staircase, bespoke built-in closets, a breakfront in the dining room, six-over-six windows, a stained-glass window, and a bespoke carved wooden mantle. Original interior trim throughout the house, along with a claw-foot tub and natural stone vanity, evoke a sense of timeless charm. While the kitchen has been thoughtfully modernized, the home retains its historical integrity. This 5-bedroom residence is prominently situated on Pendleton Point Road, offering a mid-island location close to the library, public park and playground, island market, and post office. Beyond the main house, you'll find recently built post and beam two-story outbuildings, offering versatile space for a workshop, storage, or other possibilities. This stately 1887 home is now seeking its next steward—someone who will appreciate its beautiful history, embrace its unique character, and continue to care for and enjoy this magnificent piece of Islesboro heritage.
