Welcome to this classic Fairmount home with long views up West Broadway and the Holden hills. Completely renovated in 2015 and continual improvements since, this home is move in ready with an incredible location in the neighborhood. So many lovely details are packed into this quintessential Bangor home. Original and well matched hardwood floors are throughout the first and second floors. Mudroom with pantry, washer and dryer, and plenty of space for boots and coats leads to gorgeous patio area and oversized two+ car garage with storage above. Second floor has two bedrooms with large closets, an office or small potential 4th bedroom, and gracious second bath with separate room for the commode. Large third floor bedroom with dormers creates extra space, views, and walk in closet. Want a night in to feel a little special? You'll love the finished basement den with wet bar for movie or game night. Full bath in the finished basement creates some privacy in the mornings. Sidewalks lead to the Bangor Municipal Golf Course, Fairmount Park, Doughty Middle School, Vine Street School, and small local stores with delis and pizza ovens for those nights when time is a little short. Newer natural gas boiler, heat pumps, generator, appliances, and low maintenance, high quality finishes inside and out mean you can think about the perfect room color instead of making a long honey-do list. Showings begin on Friday June 6th.
