Circa 1840. Gracefully appointed, this Greek Revival home in Belfast, Maine on gorgeous Penobscot Bay, was built in 1840. Saunter up the hand carved, cherry circular staircase to a sitting area. Relax in front of the fire in the handsome library, enjoy the fireside North Parlor with a grand and player piano. Settle into the South Parlor for games and friendly conversation by the fire. Beautifully restored guest bedrooms boast period antiques, soothing featherbeds, and exciting attributes of days gone by. Delight in sumptuous breakfasts, afternoon tea and baked treats. Sit on the veranda or gazebo and explore the grounds. The Alden House is located in the heart of town, near quaint shops and art boutiques. View magnificent harbor sunrises and sunsets.
