For 42 years, one family has called this Victorian beauty home — filling its high-ceilinged rooms with laughter and care... now it's inviting you to write the next chapter. Inside, the sun pours through graceful bay windows, catching the carved details and tall proportions that only 19th-century craftsmanship can provide. With a layout that accommodates one-level living, comfort meets historic charm in a rare partnership. The unfinished attic invites your imagination — perhaps a studio, library, or storage haven — while the solid basement offers a blank slate for creative use. Updates keep the bones strong, including a new roof (2024) and a well-tended boiler (2005). Beyond the walls, 1.34 acres unfold — a green expanse for gardens, picnics, or just quiet afternoons in the shade. The 34×25 detached garage/barn fits four cars with storage above, crowned by a cupola that tips its hat to the home's heritage. A welcoming front porch and a back deck bring two perfect spots for morning coffee or evening unwinding. All this, just 3 minutes from downtown, 4 from the University of Maine in Orono, and 20 from Bangor. Whether you preserve every detail or blend history with a modern touch, this home gives you the freedom to shape its next story — while honoring the one that's been lovingly written for over four decades.
