Property Description
The 'gem' of Howard Street is finally available. Originally custom built for U.S. Senator and former Secretary of Defense William Cohen, this home is unlike anything else in Bangor, sitting on just under 3/4 of an acre, a rare find this close to everything. From the moment you walk in, it feels different. Bright, open, and filled with natural light from oversized windows and skylights throughout. This home was built for living and entertaining. The main living area features a massive bar setup and a wood stove, creating a warm, inviting space to gather. Just off the main area, a secondary living room is anchored by a stunning two-sided fireplace, offering a separate space to relax or host. Radiant heat flooring in the upstairs bedroom and bathroom adds a level of comfort you'll notice immediately. The layout offers flexibility with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, plus a fully equipped in-law suite with its own kitchen, additional bedroom & bathroom, and a jacuzzi tub, currently generating $1,700 per month, ideal for extra income or multi-generational living. Outside, you'll find privacy from mature trees, a detached movie theater, an oversized screened in porch (directly off main bedroom), a large driveway, a garage, and underground utilities, features you simply don't come across twice. The location is incredibly hard to beat. Directly across from Stillwater Park (one of the best parks in all of Bangor), 1 minute to Maine Medical, 2 minutes to the mall shopping area, 3 minutes to downtown Bangor, and 5 minutes to Broadway and the waterfront concert venue. Homes like this don't come around often, and when they do, they don't last. Showings start Friday, May 1st.
