E.B. White’s Former Farmhouse, Inspiration For ‘Charlotte’s Web,’ Is for Sale

By K. Gitter

8 years ago

“The barn is beautiful. It’s original. It has the swing,” says Martha Dischinger, real estate broker with Downeast Properties in Blue Hill, Maine. She notes that the owners will even show you where Charlotte spun her web, as well as the rope swing that’s featured in the story.

The house is certainly located in a storybook setting. Built in the 1790s, the property includes 2,000 feet of shore frontage on Allen’s Cove. There’s a dock with multiple boat moorings, along with a little boathouse where White would do his writing.
