Description of the Rockport vacation house rental

With parts from 1840, this beautiful old house has been restored to the original grace and charm of the mid coast Maine. In Victorian-colonial style with Greek revival elements, the house is wood frame, white clapboards, black shutters, large porch with typical blue paint on the ceiling, delicate woodwork and white columns. Located on the eastern side of the beautiful Rockport Harbor, minutes away from the Village, the house is one of the few original homes left in Rockport. Surrounded by a beautiful lawn and garden that slope towards the ocean,inviting you to go sailing , the house is a perfect vacation place for smaller parties or large families. Each of the living areas have their own style and feel. On the beautiful porch or down by the water are the best places to be in the afternoon hours, when the sun sets and the water reflects the changing light. The colors are unforgettable, the air is pure. Great location for reading, dining, sailing,photography, hiking, fall color watching

Details for The Tall House

Parts of the house are original from 1840-1860. Most likely that structure was lifted and new floors were added below, sometimes after 1860. A map of the Mechanic Street from the 1870's shows the house on the same location and with the same structure, the Barn few feet away from the Middle House and the Tall House. Original details from that time are the ornate copper ceiling in one of the 'fancy rooms of the Middle House, the varnished maple baseboards, the varnished oak pocket doors, the wide pine boards on some of the floors and the beautiful staircase and ceiling plasterwork. The windows are most all originals with the old wavy glass. The lawn slopes gradually towards the 160 feet of ocean shore. 100 yrs ago that site was occupied by an ice packing and shipping company. Now the garden and the lawn are framed by majestic pines, oaks and maples. The shore is framed by large beautiful granite rocks and the water is easily accessible bedrooms have full water view.
