Property Description
Extensively upgraded and mechanically turnkey, this stately 19th-century Greek Revival home offers a rare blend of historic character, modern system reliability, and exceptional flexibility--just moments from downtown Bangor and conveniently located off State Street. With approximately 3,264 square feet of living space, the property features a versatile layout that can function as a spacious single-family residence or accommodate multigenerational living. An accessory apartment--currently occupied by a long-term tenant--provides immediate income potential and additional flexibility for future use. Original architectural details, including hardwood floors, detailed moldings, and high ceilings, reflect the home's historic roots, while a comprehensive list of capital improvements completed between 2022-2026 supports long-term value and peace of mind. Recent updates include a new metal roof, updated heating system, tankless hot water, full electrical upgrades, sewer system improvements, asbestos abatement, and interior thermal windows. Additional exterior enhancements include a paved driveway, garage roof replacement, fencing, multiple new entry doors, and a new bulkhead. The home offers generously sized rooms, multiple living and dining areas, and abundant natural light throughout. Situated on a large in-town lot with a detached garage, the property provides convenient access to downtown Bangor, healthcare facilities, schools, and a variety of local amenities. This property presents a unique opportunity to own a historic home where major systems have already been addressed--offering both character and functionality, along with the added benefit of an established accessory living space.
