Enjoy modern living in one of Maine's most historic houses, the Kent-Cutting House built by Charles Bryant in 1833. Described in Kennedy's Greek Revival America, as ''the most interesting double house in the nation, and ''worth a journey to see, '' it features two mirror image homes each with a round front parlor and corkscrew spiral staircase rising three stories. Originally built for law partners who married sisters, the front hall has an internal passage door to allow easy access. The current owners have added additional access points between parts of the home to expand their enjoyment of the building. Currently #48 has 6BR, 2.5BA, and #50 has a 2BR, 1BA apartment and an office space. The building has multiple fireplaces, three with natural gas inserts and one wood burning. The grounds are as impressive as the home, with a private garden, yard and patio, surrounded by gorgeous perennials and greenery. Zoning allows service based business as a conditional use having housed medical/dental offices, law and investment advisory offices off and on over the last 50 years. It is perfect for living on one side and conducting business on the other. Located in the heart of the Broadway Historic District, the location affords a nice walk to downtown business, museums, theaters, and restaurants. Offering historical significance and beauty, as well as modern amenities, this stunning home must be seen to be fully appreciated.
