Description

An exceptional opportunity to own TWO in-town historic houses side by side. The main house is a beautiful 3,238 square foot c. 1832 Italianate that sits in the heart of Bath's Historic District. A decorated exterior façade welcomes you with detailed roof brackets, pedimented windows, a classic doorway with Doric-like pilasters and a stained glass transom.



The interior of this home blends historic charm with modern features. An extensive renovation created an open great room in the back of the house with a chef's kitchen that opens to the side porch and gardens. The formal front rooms maintain the feel of an almost 200-year-old home, featuring wood floors, marble fireplace mantels and arched built-ins. Upstairs there are two front bedrooms, a guest bathroom and access to the balcony overlooking the courtyard. Down the hall the primary suite is a true sanctuary with an abundance of natural sunlight, views of the gardens, a walk-in closet and full bath.



Outside, the private courtyard feels like an English garden with entertaining space and a gazebo.



The second home is a charming 1,838 square foot guest house that has also been restored to modern standards. With two bedrooms and 1.5 baths it is a private space to host friends and family, or can be used as a rental. Upstairs there's an airy, light-filled room for a workspace or studio. Downstairs, a laundry room plus additional area for storage or workshop that connects to the two car garage. An ideal location that is walkable to downtown Bath and an easy commute to Brunswick and Portland.
