Property Description

Nestled in the heart of Bath, this circa-1920 late Folk Victorian home blends timeless character with warm, inviting living spaces and a garden setting that feels out of a storybook, all just one minute to Bath Iron Works (BIW) and downtown Bath. A covered farmer's porch complemented by a projecting gable welcomes you home, while mature plantings--including climbing hydrangea, forsythia, hosta and daffodils--create a colorful backdrop throughout the seasons. A fabulous east-facing back deck and tucked-away seating area provide the perfect places to enjoy morning coffee or unwind overlooking the backyard. Inside, the home showcases period details throughout including: stained glass window, intricate molding, oak flooring, and cast-iron radiators. Enter through the mudroom with laundry and an adjacent half bath off the kitchen--ideal for unloading coats and boots and keeping everyday messes contained. The kitchen features a window seat and a pass-through opening with bar seating to the dining space and flows seamlessly into the open dining and living area, where oak floors and a pellet stove create a warm and inviting setting for everyday living and entertaining. The formal entry flows into the covered farmer's porch or leads you past a stained glass window to the upstairs living quarters. Upstairs, a light-filled landing leads to three flexible bedrooms and a full bath with a soaking tub. The primary bedroom features a reach-in closet and built-in shelving; a second bedroom includes a charming nursery or sitting area that flows into the main sleeping space overlooking the backyard, complete with a reach-in closet; and a third room with its own closet could serve as a bedroom, home office, creative workspace, or home gym. All just 9 minutes to Thorne Head Preserve and to Maine Street Brunswick, 17 minutes to Wiscasset, and 37 minutes to Portland. Open House: Friday 5/15 @ 3-5 and Saturday 5/16 @ 11-1.
