12 Emerson St Sanford, ME 04073

A rare blend of old and new in the heart of Sanford. This beautifully renovated home pairs the character you can't replicate -- original hardwood floors with parquet inlay detail in the formal rooms, period trim, a stunning staircase, and a charming screened front porch with arched transom details -- with the modern updates today's buyers actually want. The brand-new kitchen anchors the home with white shaker cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless appliances, and elegant brushed gold finishes. The living and dining rooms flow gracefully together through wide cased openings, framed by oversized windows and bathed in natural light. Upstairs, three sun-filled bedrooms share a freshly renovated full bath, with an additional half bath on the main level for guests. Every major system has been thoughtfully addressed: new windows throughout, updated electrical and plumbing, refinished hardwoods, and fresh paint inside and out. The screened porch invites three-season enjoyment, a full basement provides ample storage, and a detached one-car garage completes the property. Truly move-in ready, with all the soul of the original home intact.
