Turn-of-the-Century Elegance in Bangor's Little City. This timeless gem beautifully blends restored original craftsmanship with elegant European-style updates. From the moment you step onto the welcoming front porch, the home's character shines through—the original carved front door opens to reveal quarter-sawn oak floors, wide wood trim stained to a warm hue, and graceful pocket and swinging doors that create a sense of warmth and quiet throughout. The kitchen is an architectural masterpiece, combining modern design with classic charm. Featuring sleek black cabinetry, marble countertops, custom built-ins, and high-end stainless steel appliances, it offers both style and functionality. The adjoining dining room is rich in detail, boasting custom oak paneling with trompe l'oeil artistry and a built-in china cabinet. The inviting living room centers around a wood-burning fireplace with distinctive antique brickwork. Architectural thoughtfulness continues in the back hall and mudroom, where smooth wood walls conceal a guest bath and laundry behind a clever jib door. Both front and back staircases lead to four generously sized bedrooms. The primary suite is a serene retreat with a three-sided bay window, dressing area, and a full bath featuring a tiled shower. The two front bedrooms are bright and airy, with easy access to a shared bath complete with a clawfoot tub, wainscoting, and pedestal sink. A fourth bedroom offers an ideal space for a study or home office and connects seamlessly with the primary suite for additional versatility and closet space. The spacious attic provides expansion potential, while the large basement offers ample storage. All systems have been thoughtfully modernized for comfort. Outdoors, a cozy back porch overlooks beautifully landscaped gardens, complete with a private fire pit area and a charming garden shed—perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Living well truly defines this exceptional home.
