About This Home
As of May 2022This beautifully renovated, historic home offers an amazing package of 3 properties including a stately, main residence, one bedroom apartment and well-designed office/retail space.
*1. First, take in over two centuries of history in the federal style main home boasting 6,794 sf. Gorgeous wood floors and molding, fireplaces in every room and impressive foyer are just some of the home's highlights. The large kitchen features granite counters and sliders to the beautiful patio and fenced-in backyard. Upstairs is equally impressive with an open landing, four large bedrooms including a master suite with updated bath. Finally the stunning third floor is another 695sf with walnut flooring and many potential exciting uses like a large game room for entertaining.
*2. Second, the one bedroom apartment has been rented successfully on AirBnB for years. With a private entrance, and more period details, guest will love staying here while taking in all the Topsham/Brunswick area has to offer.
3. Last but not least, the 2,160sf commercial space lends itself to many different business types including a doctor's office, spa, retail and more. Plenty of parking and visibility make it easily accessible without disturbing the main home. The large, 1.3 acre lot has been meticulously cared for and features stone walls, mature trees, perennial gardens and amazing curb appeal. Location is everything - this property is situated in Topsham and is just minutes to downtown Brunswick, Bowdoin College as well as I295 for easy commutes to Portland and Augusta. A true gem, full of history, comfort and opportunity!
