This 1860s New Englander-style home stands as a true testament to the concept of ''good bones.'' It has been lovingly cherished by only two families throughout its rich history, and the current owners have been devoted stewards of this property since 1969. Meticulous records of maintenance and improvements have been kept since the 1990s, reflecting their dedication to preserving the home's integrity. In 2022, the roof and most windows were replaced. The exterior walls and drop-down attic space have been insulated with blown-in insulation. For added convenience and peace of mind, a generator hookup and propane stove ensure that the home remains resilient in all seasons. The living room flows into an open eat-in kitchen, with an adjoining front room currently used as an office. Ascending the staircase, you'll find three comfortable bedrooms and a full bathroom, offering a cozy retreat for the household. Beneath the carpeting and laminate flooring that adorn many of the rooms through out the home, the timeless beauty of hardwood floors awaits discovery. Outside, the well-maintained landscape is a testament to the current owner's commitment to the property. A terraced patio area with vibrant perennials invites relaxation and outdoor gatherings. A fenced-in garden area shields your vegetables from the evening foragers, including the occasional deer, while blackberry bushes promise seasonal delights. The property's location is both convenient and desirable, with walking distance proximity to the Bath Iron Works, the Maine Maritime Museum, South End Dog Park, a public boat launch, and the tranquil Lily Pond Preserve. The bustling charm of downtown Bath is a 5-minute drive, Portland is 35 minutes away, and Popham Beach is just 25 minutes from your doorstep. This 163-year-old home is ready for its third owner to continue its legacy. It offers the perfect canvas for your own story in the heart of Bath.
