About This Home
As of August 2021Historical New England charm meets the desired upgrades of today’s lifestyle in this extensively renovated Colonial known as “The Bell House.” Situated on over an acre of property overlooking Gorham’s Pond, this 6 bedroom, 6.1 bathroom home is one of a kind.
At the heart of the home, a gourmet kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances, custom cabinetry and Carrera marble countertops flows seamlessly to the sun-filled family room with vaulted-ceiling and wood-burning fireplace. With water views from almost every room, the three levels of living space also includes a formal dining room, home office, rec room, study, gym area, pool room and private in-law suite.
A large deck off the family room, a screened in porch, multiple flagstone patios and private gunite pool with spa are the ideal outdoor living areas to entertain and take-in the waterfront views and sweeping lawn. No sunset over Rings End Bridge will be missed!
