About This Home

As of December 2024

Beautiful Victorian home built in 1865. Do you admire vintage homes with original hardwood floors, woodwork, fireplaces? This home has all the charm of the old Victorian homes with a touch of modern in all the right places! The kitchen area has been transformed into a 24'x29' family gathering spot. Modern kitchen cabinets fit very nicely into this space that is the hub of the home and provides not only plenty of space for preparing family meals but also has a large space for informal dining, watching TV, plus a spot for homework or just hanging out! Just off the kitchen is a formal dining room with built-in corner china closet and a library with a fireplace and built-in shelving. The formal foyer has a large closet and a half bath and can be closed off from the dining room and living room by beautiful French doors. The spacious living room has a fireplace and more built-ins. At the top of the stairs, there is a sitting room, 2 bedrooms, full updated bathroom and a primary bedroom with a large walk-in closet. Moving toward the back of the house, you will discover a family room, 4th bedroom, another updated bathroom and a maid's staircase which accesses the kitchen. This home has an attached, 2 car garage and a nice room over the garage, heated with electric baseboard that is used as a home gym or could be a home office. 0.61 acre corner lot is nicely landscaped with a patio and located in a nice area of town surrounded by similar vintage homes. The home is heated with an oil boiler which was installed in November 2022 as well as a pellet stove in the kitchen/family area. Conveniently located within walking distance to historic downtown restaurants, library, shopping and events as well as the Civic Center, Community Park, ice arena and Houlton Middle/High Schools. Don't miss out on an opportunity to make this Your New Home!
