A local landmark with nearly two centuries of history, the lovely Norwood Curtis House provides a unique and charming setting for experiencing the beauties of Camden. Stroll to wonderful restaurants and shops in the heart of town, catch sunrises and sunsets at the picturesque harbor, and listen to the sounds of music wafting up from the amphitheater in summer. This two-story home dates back to 1846, nestled within the High Street Historic District of beautiful downtown Camden. Once the home and workplace of Pulitzer Prize-winning author Richard Russo ('Empire Falls'), the property now sits adjacent to the grounds of the town's library and amphitheater. When you're not exploring on foot, you'll be perfectly placed to visit Camden Hills State Park, Camden Snow Bowl, Rockport, and Rockland - all within eight miles. The house has been thoughtfully furnished with relaxation in mind. Original details - including built-in cabinetry in the dining room - are interspersed with such modern comforts as new kitchen appliances (including an induction range that's great for lobster pots), spacious bedrooms overlooking Mt. Battie, and a home office with high-speed WIFI. When you're looking to unwind, take your pick of three enclosed porches - one where you can sip your morning coffee with a view of the street, a second that serves as both the home office and a sitting area, and a third upstairs that acts as an additional sleeping space overlooking the yard. Between these and the living room, the large dining room, the kitchen, and the outdoor deck (with a gas grill) draped in vines, you'll have ample space to gather with loved ones.At night, find one bedroom - along with a wonderful collection of books - on the first floor. There are three more bedrooms upstairs in addition to the window-lined sleeping porch, which is accessed through the primary bedroom.
