Own a true piece of Maine history on the banks of the Pemaquid River. This former hydroelectric power plant, now turned comfortable home, sits right in the heart of Bristol village. The property combines a sturdy industrial structure built in 1919 with a cozy, well-crafted living area upstairs, thoughtfully added in 2006. The substantial masonry construction was designed to sit along the river, and features a large wall of windows overlooking the Pemaquid River, plus barn doors that open onto a landscaped yard. Upstairs, a charming two-bedroom, one-bath living space lets you hear the river through open windows or unwind on a porch overlooking the garden. Despite its convenient location in the heart of Bristol village -- just across from the mills and fish ladder -- the property feels remarkably private. A large detached garage/outbuilding adds valuable flexibility. One insulated wing is currently used as a gym, complete with a heat pump and garage door. Downstairs offers a large workshop space, while the street-level upstairs features a two-car garage and an open, gallery-like room. Bring your vision to this unique and versatile property. Float or fish in the river, or simply enjoy the sound of running water. Walk to the mills, Broad Arrow, Pemaquid Oyster, or Deb's Diner. You're just a 10-minute drive to Damariscotta, minutes from Round Pond, and centrally located in the middle of the peninsula.
