Envision short walks to intown businesses & the college, backyard access to woodland strolls on Brunswick's vast network of scenic trails or Bowdoin's athletic facilities & choosing one of many options for outdoor relaxation. At its heart is a home lived in with love, an early 1900s classic, low-profile bungalow design popularized by Britain's mid-19th century Arts and Crafts movement. From the extended front porch, the accommodation begins with a spacious open-plan entry presenting a centrally-placed stairway directly ahead w/ a library-den area to the left & a dining & kitchen area to the right. At the far left corner behind the stairway & joining the kitchen is additional living space which could be used for a variety of purposes and is currently used as an office. An extension toward the back of the home which was completed by the previous owner provides a spacious living room w/ wood-fuel stove-in fireplace off of which is a sliding glass door to the back deck and yard. The principal bedroom suite, located to the right of this room, extends further back & offers privacy and much-appreciated convenience. Upstairs are 2 additional bedrooms & bathroom adequately separate from the first-floor master bedroom and main living spaces. Additional features of this property include a detached double-vehicle garage & generator. Recognizing a much-needed & desired goal of restoring the home to its authentic condition and understanding the wisdom of passing along the torch to other capable hands, the owners are excited to see another's vision come alive for this special home.
