Stephen King Doesn’t Live at His Famous Bangor, Maine, Home Anymore? Here’s Where He Now Lives

Stephen King is an iconic American author of skin-chilling thrillers, supernatural, suspenseful, and science fiction novels.

If you don't know who he is by now, try Google.

King has a famous Bangor home, which many people love to take photos in front of, but you might be surprised to know he doesn't actually live there anymore.

Stephen King's Bangor, Maine, Home

King has been the king of providing us with the scariest thrillers of all time. My personal favorite book is "It"

He is also a local Mainer and has lived in Bangor since 1980, according to Road Side America. His Bangor home has been an attraction to all King fans. The outside iron gates of this Bangor estate make it obvious that he is associated with this place.

There are bat-winged creatures and spider details on the tall fence, after all.

Fans come from all around the world to stand in front of this epic house to take photos. But now, Stephen, 78, and his wife Tabitha, 76, now live in their second home in Florida for more privacy, according to People. 

And this is why.

Stephen King's Bangor Home Is Now a Museum and Writers' Retreat

This historic home was turned into a museum! The museum provides and holds an archive of Stephen King's work.

But, wait, there's more!

According to People, in addition to being a museum, it serves as a retreat for writers with up to five writers at a time.. This incredible idea was approved by the Bangor City Council. 

The chosen writers will live in a guest house next door that King purchased in 2004, according to CBS, and people will have to schedule appointments to see materials in the archives.

The City of Bangor has welcomed the King family with open arms, as they have been such an incredible asset to the city and have donated so much money to causes in the city. So this is just another magnificent addition from the Kings to Bangor.
