About this home
Step back in time with this magnificent 1895 Victorian masterpiece — one of Caribou's most distinguished and historically significant homes. Showcasing two grand turrets and the signature charm of the era, this 5-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence combines old-world craftsmanship with thoughtful modern updates for comfortable living.
Inside, you'll be captivated by the rich Russian walnut woodwork, intricate detailing, and the glow of natural light streaming through the beveled glass windows in both the living and dining rooms. Oversized windows throughout offer picturesque views and fill each room with warmth and character. The home's graceful flow, high ceilings, and impressive architectural features embody the timeless elegance of the Victorian period while offering modern conveniences such as 33 replaced energy-efficient windows and updated hot water baseboard heating.
The spacious kitchen and dining areas are perfect for family gatherings or entertaining guests, while the cozy living spaces — complemented by a pellet stove — create the perfect atmosphere for year-round comfort. Each of the five bedrooms offers generous dimensions and large walk-in closets, providing both charm and practicality.
Set on a beautifully landscaped .55-acre lot, the property offers a peaceful retreat just moments from downtown amenities. The home also carries a fascinating piece of local history — it was once the ancestral home of O.P. Pierson, the inventor of the frozen French fry, making it a true landmark in Caribou's heritage.
Blending historic prestige, architectural beauty, and modern efficiency, this exceptional Victorian home stands as a rare opportunity to own a piece of Northern Maine's history....
