''Aldermere'' is an iconic, original 1899 New Englander overlooking Penobscot Bay in Rockport and surrounded by the famous Belted Galloways of Aldermere Farm and Erickson Fields. The home was restored several years ago with great care and consideration. The systems were updated, and modern amenities were added - yet the character, charm, and sophistication were carefully maintained. It features built-ins, 4 bedrooms, 4 full and 2 half baths, an elevator, parlors, several living areas, a large formal dining room, a great room with a chef's kitchen, an eat-in dining area, a sitting room, several guest bedrooms,, and a separate water view guest apartment over the garage. The waterside of the house has a covered porch running nearly the entire length of the house. There are stone walls, a cul-de-sac driveway, gardens, terraces, and stellar views out to the islands. The water views are protected with an easement to ensure they always remain as they are right now. Aldermere is a truly rare offering.
