About This Home

Just moments from downtown Camden, this gracious 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home has a rare blend of architectural character, preserved craftsmanship, and everyday livability. Distinctive from the moment you arrive, the home's iconic turret, classic proportions, and welcoming front porch create a timeless presence that feels both elegant and enduring. Inside, beautifully preserved original details reflect the home's history and charm-rich wood floors, detailed millwork, built-ins, tall windows, and thoughtfully scaled rooms that offer both warmth and function. The main living spaces flow comfortably from one to the next, creating an inviting atmosphere for both quiet daily living and gathering with family and friends. The kitchen is efficient and functional, thoughtfully positioned just off the main living areas with custom cabinetry, ample storage, and a practical layout suited to everyday living. Formal and informal living spaces provide flexibility, while dedicated office and sitting areas offer room to work, read, or retreat. Upstairs, three well-proportioned bedrooms and updated baths provide comfort and privacy, including a lovely primary bath with a soaking tub that feels tucked away and serene. The turret room creates a truly special space, filled with natural light and architectural charm, perfect as a reading nook, office, sitting room, or quiet retreat. Additional attic space provides valuable storage and flexibility for future needs. The two porches extend the living space outdoors, while the yard offers space for gardening, pets, or relaxed summer evenings. For buyers who appreciate homes with soul, substance, and enduring design, this is a special opportunity to own a beautifully-preserved Camden property just a short walk from the harbor, shops, and restaurants.
