Property Description
Designed by the renowned architectural firm Peabody & Stearns-the same visionary minds behind the Bangor Public Library-this exceptional historic residence is a rare find. Lovingly maintained by the same family for well over four decades , the home retains its original charm and craftsmanship, offering a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of Bangor's storied past. Step inside and experience the unmatched warmth of leaded and stained-glass windows, solid wood handrails, and a decorative newel post topped with a bronze Art Deco finial statue. The character continues throughout with original interior wood shutters, elegant French doors, and exquisite wood detailing-including a Brazilian mahogany-paneled office with a built-in wet bar. The home offers four bedrooms and two full-and-two-half baths, including a spacious primary suite with dual vanities and multiple closets. An updated kitchen with granite countertops and modern appliances seamlessly blends classic charm with everyday convenience. The laundry room is thoughtfully located for easy access, and the cozy family room features a pellet stove and more of the home's signature French doors. Downstairs, the finished basement offers a versatile rec room/game room, complete with a second wet bar and half bath-perfect for entertaining or relaxing. The home also includes a one-car garage. Set on a private, oversized, and fully fenced lot, this property offers both peace and space right in the heart of the city. Located just two blocks from the Bangor Public Library, St. Joseph Hospital, and Broadway Park, and just minutes from Northern Light Hospital, the University of Maine, and Husson University, this is truly one of Bangor's most special homes. Homes of this caliber and heritage rarely come to market-don't miss your chance to own a piece of Bangor's architectural and cultural history.
