About This Home

Set on a quiet, tree-lined street in one of Rockland's most desirable village neighborhoods, this stately circa 1870 mansion offers a unique opportunity to restore a true gem of coastal Maine architecture.

While the home now awaits thoughtful updating to bring it back to pristine condition, the potential is undeniable. Whether you're a preservation enthusiast, an investor, or simply someone with a vision, the rewards of revitalizing this elegant property will be well worth the effort.

Located just minutes from Rockland's thriving downtown, harborfront, and cultural attractions, 89 Talbot Avenue is ideally situated to enjoy both community life and quiet retreat.
