Bath, ME 04530

This beautiful 3,238 square foot c. 1832 Italianate 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 a home that's just shy of 200 years old, featuring wood floors, marble fireplace mantels and arched built-ins. Upstairs there are two front bedrooms, a guest bathroom and access to a 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, a raised deck with balustrade overlooks an exceptional private courtyard that feels like an English garden. The bluestone terrace, pea gravel paths surrounding multiple beds of flowers, bushes and trees, the gazebo nestled amidst the arborvitae; all provide a delightful environment for entertaining. Just across the driveway sits a bonus house! This second home is a charming historic 1,838 square foot guest house that has also been restored to modern standards. Possibilities include space for extended family, hosting friends, to work from home or an income property. Downstairs, a living room, kitchen and laundry room plus an additional area for a workshop or storage connects to a two car garage. Upstairs, there are three light filled bedrooms and full bath with shower. The current and previous owners have meticulously upgraded and maintained this property; all you have to do is move in. This prime location in Bath is walkable to downtown and an easy commute to Brunswick and Portland.
