A beautiful Victorian home with newly installed in-law apartment is waiting for you in quaint and highly acclaimed Cornish, Maine! This home has been lovingly and tastefully cared for by the owner with a long list of upgrades and updates during her stay including many new energy-efficient windows and doors, along with repair of the period windows that give the home it's rarely found charm and character. You'll immediately notice the updated bathrooms, updated kitchen, beautiful original woodwork, built-in original cabinetry, new paint, and refinished floors throughout, along with a newly rebuilt side porch. Not as easily seen, but of great importance in antique homes is the many electrical and plumbing upgrades in the past few years, and a full basement and attic for tons of storage or your remodeling project. Try finding a six-sided turret bedroom anywhere else! The back shop area, currently unfinished, has been permitted to be finished space if desired. The 3/4-acre lot with road frontage on two streets offers a one-car garage, beautiful perennials, vegetable garden-space, original stone walls, and brand-new privacy fence. Enjoy small town life in Cornish known for its antique shops and excellent restaurants, just an hour to coastal points and Portland, and less than an hour to the White Mountains. The perfect location to have it all at an affordable price!
