Its oldest portion dating to the 1770s, the house is locally distinctive as a well-preserved 19th-century Cape, and as the home of Salome Sellers, one of Deer Isle's longest-lived residents (1800-1909).

[1] The Sellers House stands on the east side of Maine Route 15A (Sunset Road) in southern Deer Isle, a short way north of the Island Country Club.

It is a 1+1⁄2-story wood-frame Cape style house, five bays wide, with a side-gable roof, clapboard siding, granite foundation, and a central chimney.

The interior follows a typical center-chimney plan, with a narrow entry vestibule with winding staircase, parlor and dining room to the sides of the chimney, and kitchen behind, with bedrooms in the rear corners and in the upper half story.

For most of that period it was home to Salome Sellers, a noted local personality who died in 1909 at the age of 108, and was one of the community's most long-lived residents.
