About this House

Tucked on a quiet street in charming Bath, this sweet south-facing 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home greets you with sunshine from morning to afternoon. Move-in ready and thoughtfully updated throughout, it's the kind of place that feels warm and welcoming the moment you walk in.

Step inside to uniform laminate flooring that flows seamlessly through every room—easy to keep clean and bright. The eat-in kitchen is practical and inviting, perfect for quick breakfasts or lingering over coffee. The main floor bedroom could easily be used as a convenient home office. A dry basement with a new propane forced hot air (FHA) heating system means comfort year-round and plenty of usable space for storage, hobbies, or future ideas.

Upstairs, you'll find second-floor laundry (such a convenience!) and two comfortable bedrooms. The 1.5 baths keep things simple and functional for everyday living.

With lots of natural light pouring in thanks to that sunny southern exposure, the whole house feels open and cheerful.

Located in the heart of Bath, you're close to downtown shops, restaurants, the Kennebec River, parks, and easy drives to Brunswick or Portland. A true gem in Maine's ''Coolest Little City''.
