Historic Gothic Revival-Style Home in Maine Features Amazing Private Chapel

by

A historic Gothic Revival-style dwelling that was once the home of William King—Maine’s first governor—recently hit the market for $825,000 in Bath, ME.

Built in 1796, the four-bedroom residence is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. “It’s the earliest Gothic stone structure in Maine,” says the listing agent, Katherine Leeman of Legacy Properties Sotheby’s International Realty.

Located on just over an acre of land near the Kennebec River, it has a storied history.

“The house was originally built as a hunting lodge, used as a hospital during the War of 1812, and then Governor King bought it,” says Leeman.

Surrounded by 200 acres of forest preserve and an original working horse farm, it sits just five minutes from the shops and restaurants in downtown Bath, 10 minutes from shopping and hospitals in Brunswick, and 45 minutes to downtown Portland.

“It feels like a European country home with its small farm and pool—it’s really quite special,” adds Leeman.

In the past couple of decades, the current owners have made a number of careful and well-considered improvements to the historic home. There’s a new roof, a new furnace, and a new septic system. Wiring and plumbing have been updated, windows have been replaced, and an in-ground pool (with cabana) was installed.

But the true highlight of the home is the addition of an amazing private chapel filled with colorful stained glass.

“The owners are quite religious, so they decided to convert the sunroom into a chapel. They found stained-glass windows from a church in Maine, restored the glass, and installed them,” says Leeman.

The result is a stunning space that’s a true rarity in any residence.
