Welcome to this charming 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom Cape located in the heart of Bath—known as ''Maine's Cool Little City. '' This home blends classic New England character with thoughtful updates, featuring hardwood floors and warm custom wood cabinets that create an inviting, timeless feel. The kitchen opens to the back deck through a glass slider, perfect for easy indoor-outdoor living and summertime gatherings. In the living room, a pellet stove adds both comfort and efficiency during the cooler months. A spacious mudroom welcomes you at the entry, offering the perfect spot to shed snowy boots and winter gear during Maine's colder months. Convenience is built right in with a large first-floor bathroom and a separate laundry room. Upstairs, you'll find 3 bedrooms offering flexibility for guest space, home office, or hobbies. Set in a coastal, creative, and historic community along the Kennebec River, Bath offers a walkable downtown filled with local restaurants, cafes, shops, and galleries. Enjoy the best of small-city living with quick access to more: less than 40 minutes to Downtown Portland and the International Jetport, and under 15 minutes to Bowdoin College and Brunswick's vibrant village. And for beach lovers—you're just 22 minutes from iconic Popham Beach, one of the best in the entire state. Classic charm, cozy style, and the perfect Midcoast Maine location—this is a place that feels like home.

Don't miss your opportunity to scoop up this affordable, cute as a button home in the wonderful little city of Bath. The current owner raised his family here and has made many improvements to get it ready for the next residents. The large mudroom with cedar lined coat closet is perfect for keeping the snow and dirt at bay. One full bath and a laundry room on the first floor flow nicely with the formal dining room and living room. The 3 large bedrooms upstairs are perfect for a small family or perhaps a home office. The large deck and wooded lot make for a lovely outdoor space. Situated across from Goddard Field where there is plenty of room to play or roam. The city of Bath turns this field into a skating rink in the winter, making for a wonderful family activity right out your front door. Call today and schedule a showing before this one is gone!
