Known historically as the Russell B. Wilier House, this circa-1886 Queen Anne Victorian was built by W.H. Glover & Co. and stands as one of downtown Rockland's most architecturally significant homes. Rich oak woodwork, stained glass windows, original maple floors, soaring ceilings, three fireplaces, and elegant double pocket doors showcase the craftsmanship of its era. 47 Masonic Street sits two blocks from the Farnsworth Art Museum and three blocks from the restaurants, galleries, and shops of Main Street -- closer to the heart of Rockland than any comparable property of this scale. The lot is set further back from the street than neighboring homes, with a wraparound porch, private backyard, and mature landscaping on all sides. A true 4-story Victorian -- two full main floors, a partially finished attic, and a usable basement with existing sewer connection -- offering 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, 10-foot ceilings, and a private office suite with skylights and its own heat pump. Substantial recent investment has addressed major systems thoroughly: a full ducted central AC and heating system -- virtually unheard of in Rockland Victorians -- new shingle roof on the main house, new metal roof and skylights on the extension, and a fully rebuilt wraparound porch. The two-bay garage includes a finished, four-season gym and workshop space. The home also offers a new 50 amp RV hookup. The kitchen and bathrooms reflect their era -- a genuine opportunity for someone who wants to put their own stamp on an exceptional house. The bones, the systems, and the location are the story. The finishes are the canvas. For a someone drawn to Rockland's harbor, restaurants, and cultural life -- 47 Masonic Street is a rare and unlikely-to-repeat opportunity.
