With its stately brick facade, ornate trim, and remarkable versatility, this landmark property offers a rare combination of commercial income, residential opportunity, and coastal living.

Its chef's kitchen and dining area overlook Belfast Harbor, the waterfront, and bridges beyond, offering an ever changing panorama of sailboats, tug boats, seasons, and coastal life.

Beyond, the flexible floor plan provides inviting possibilities for bedrooms, offices, art studios, or a writer's retreat, complemented by well appointed bathrooms on each floor.
