27 Summer Street

This extraordinary historic home was built in 1860 by Sea Captain William Trott. Captain Trott was from Bedford, England and built the house for his bride, Lois Neagle. Originally constructed as a Victorian, later updates and renovations resulted in a mix of Federal and Revivalist styles. The house passed to The Peacock Family in 1880 when Robert Peacock, a sardine merchant, married Minnie Trott, the old sea captain's daughter. Five generations of the Peacock family lived here continuously and hosted some of Maine's most prominent citizens. Operating as a business for the past 36 years as 'Peacock House Bed & Breakfast', this home features 8 bedrooms, 8.5 baths, and multiple large and inviting gathering spaces. The spacious double lot features extensive perennial gardens, a charming garden cottage, outdoor gathering spaces and a garage. This spacious home is perfect for you and extended family, a corporate retreat, restaurant or luxurious spa. The large, manicured lot provides additional space for guest cottages or activities. Note: Furnishings can be made available for purchase. This property is also listed as an operating B&B for sale, turn key, as MLS # 1627681, $725,000.
