Property Description
Charming, Restored Modern Farmhouse in Downtown Bangor Just three blocks from the middle of town, this gem has been lovingly restored. Every detail has been meticulously upgraded, blending modern amenities with timeless character. The walls are fully insulated, and both the electrical and plumbing systems have been completely updated. The heart of the home is the custom-designed kitchen, featuring cherry countertops and stainless-steel appliances. Radiant heat lends early morning warmth, and the sunporch, an extension of the kitchen, floods the room with light-a perfect spot for your first cup of coffee. Freshly finished hardwood floors flow throughout the main level. Enjoy the natural light streaming into the sun-filled front porch, ideal for relaxing or entertaining. The living room features a gas fireplace insert, offering warmth and ambiance. A beautifully appointed first-floor bath includes a classic clawfoot tub with shower-perfect for stylish relaxation. Upstairs, you'll find four spacious bedrooms showcasing the home's restoration, where old-world charm meets modern comfort. The central bathroom features classic tile, a marble-top vanity, and a large glass-enclosed shower. Second-floor laundry adds convenience. Other notable upgrades include thermal-pane architectural windows, a new gas boiler, low-profile baseboard units, and other thoughtful improvements. There's also ample room to add a garage, offering even more potential. For investors, the current owner has ideas on how the home could be converted into a two-unit property. While the interior is move-in ready, exterior finishing touches remain. The seller is open to contributing toward those improvements to help complete your vision. This must-see property combines Bangor's historic charm with modern sophistication.
