The Magoun/Page Estate

Four bedrooms and two full baths spread across approximately 2,500 square feet, with 0.74 acres. A new roof was installed in 2021, and a whole-house generator keeps things running through Maine weather. The 9’ × 16’ dock, reached by a 40-foot aluminum ramp, is built for the Kennebec’s tide and remains usable across the river’s full range, with deepwater access at the float.

Over the wraparound farmers porch and through the Dutch door at the back, the kitchen, breakfast nook with bay window, and dining room open east toward the river. Stunning water views and morning light pouring through divided-light windows onto wide pine floors worn smooth by generations. Original millwork and textured plaster walls carry the home’s age without overstating it. The great room, finished in later hardwood that continues into one of two front parlors, centers on an original cooking hearth with exposed brick, a substantial timber mantel, and the working details that anchor the home’s earliest roots.

Upstairs, a historic staircase with turned balusters and painted risers leads to light-filled rooms with antique glass doorknobs, skeleton-key hardware, and quiet Federal-era touches throughout. Nearly every space holds something of the past: preserved fireplaces, aged pine floors, and the slow movement of afternoon light through old window glass.
The grounds have the feel of an established New England garden, with stone borders, rhododendrons, granite steps, and lawn falling gently toward the water. A carriage house sits on the north side of the lot near the road.

Mornings start with coffee in the east-facing nook. In summer, the boat is a few steps from the kitchen door; in winter, the hearth does what it was built to do.
