Character never goes out of style. Set on a 0.26-acre lot with a fenced backyard, this timeless Bangor home blends the craftsmanship of another era with the comfort and flexibility today's lifestyle demands. From slow mornings in the sun-filled enclosed porch to evenings gathered around the firepit, every space is designed to make you feel at home. Original hardwood floors and preserved woodwork create warmth throughout. The spacious kitchen features abundant cabinetry, a butcher block island, and flows naturally into the formal dining room: an inviting space for everything from weeknight dinners to holiday gatherings. Just beyond, the cozy living room creates the perfect setting to relax, unwind, and spend time with the people who matter most. Upstairs, you'll find three comfortable bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a dedicated office that could easily serve as a fourth bedroom, providing flexibility for remote work, guests, or a growing household. The walk-up unfinished attic adds even more possibilities, whether you envision an art studio, playroom, additional living space, or simply exceptional storage. Rare for an in-town property, the generous backyard provides space to entertain, garden, play, or simply enjoy your own private outdoor retreat. The rear deck extends your living space outdoors, making summer barbecues and quiet evenings with family and friends easy to enjoy. Filled with character, generous living spaces, and room to grow, this home is conveniently located just minutes from downtown Bangor, schools, shopping, dining, parks, and everyday conveniences.
