A remarkable historic home dating back to 1825 with much of its original charm intact and preserved. From Indian Shutters and hardwood floors to a breathtaking spiral stairwell, original mantels/hearths and ornate fixtures the old house lover won't be disappointed. Those wanting to move right in and do little/nothing are also in luck. The current owners have performed comprehensive and quality updates including higher performance heating, new electrical, new windows and the restoration of many areas. What remains are choices and finishing touches that any buyer would want a say in. 2,310sf, 3bedrooms, 2 full baths, formal living and dining areas, terrific basement that could be finished. Outside enjoy parking for 3 cars and your own private sun-filled, water view urban oasis complete with fruit trees and your very own he/she shed with sauna. The expansive yard (for an urban lot) provides for a welcome respite and promises hours of enjoyment, gardening and glimpses of Casco Bay. Just imagine that waterview expansion/deck. .. If you want to be in-town with access to everything but have your own place (a single family vs a condo) - welcome home. If you love historic homes and want to plan a part in some final tweaks - welcome home. If you're looking for a home that provides instant equity and could even make for a profitable flip - welcome home. Offers due and reviewed Tuesday May 9th @ 5PM.
