Description
Built c. 1851-1858, ''The John C. Ellers House'' boasts vernacular Greek Revival architecture with paneled pilasters, wide entablature at the eaves and a projecting gable over the central entry. Bring your updates or move right into this 4 bedroom, 1.5 bath home located on a dead end side street just 3 minutes to downtown Bath. Kitchen features ice box and abutting pantry/laundry room to stop messes in their tracks. Dining room with wood stove and picture frame floor off the kitchen allows for ease of entertaining. First floor is complete with large living room and a half bath. Upstairs, four bedrooms and a shared full bath await. Perhaps most interesting about this home is its connection with its neighbor up the road. John C. Ellers was a prominent house joiner for many years and a Civil War veteran. His son, Amasa S. Ellers, a house joiner himself, lived in the house up the hill on the south side of York Street. When comparing the two homes you will see similar architectural elements in each — as if ''related'' like their owners were. Don't miss this opportunity to become the new steward of this historic home in The City of Ships. Just 14 minutes to Maine Street Brunswick, 27 minutes to Reid State Park & Popham Beach State Park and 39 minutes to Portland.
