Built in the 1870's and known in its early years as The Herrick Mansion, this grand old Italianate Victorian is a little rough around the edges but ready to rise and shine for her next resident. Featuring medallioned 10-foot ceilings, a grand staircase, a slate roof, a cupola and hardwood flooring throughout, this stately home overlooks Dexter, Maine and is within walking distance of the heart of town and nearby Lake Wassookeag. Downstairs are a parlor, living room, library, formal dining room kitchen and half-bath laundry room. Upstairs are four bedrooms and a bathroom. Above and below them are two spacious attics and a basement. The front of the house features a full length porch with a view of the town and the hills beyond.
