About This Home
As of December 2023Known for decades as the O'Brien antique book business, 38 High St. is a rare single family home in the West End Historic District. Originally built in 1820, this beautiful Federal home is cherished by old house lovers because so much of its historic charm has been preserved; gleaming pumpkin pine floors throughout, leaded glass windows, Indian shutters, 6 ornate fireplaces and a large fan above the front entrance. As you pull up the driveway, you'll be pleasantly surprised by the spacious off-street parking and jumbo backyard that's perfect for dog zoomies, growing a bountiful garden, backyard celebrations with good friends, or lounging around in a sun-filled urban oasis. It also offers loads of expansion potential for a savvy investor (buyer should check with city hall first.). There are two staircases leading up to the second story, which boasts 3 bedrooms including a primary bedroom with walk-in closet, a spacious linen closet across from the full bath, and a large bonus room with water views that's ideal as a 4th bedroom, playspace, home theater or spacious office. Updates include a new electric panel, refinished hardwood floors, beautifully restored windows and freshly-painted interior. The rear section of the house offers loads of storage and a workshop/mud room, however it's unheated and needs renovation so has not been included in homes square footage. This unique home represents urban convenience and true in-town living at its finest ~ steps from the vibrant Old Port waterfront with world-class dining and nightlife, a short stroll to Congress St theaters and boutiques, and minutes from Maine Med and Western Promenade for strolling with the family and catching beautiful sunsets.
