Welcome to 48 Main Rd in Charleston! Steeped in history and charm, this 1800s center-hall colonial was once the Charleston Hotel and a boarding house before becoming a beloved family home. For over 20 years it has been filled with warmth, laughter, and peace--and now it's ready for its next chapter.
With 2,780 square feet of living space, this spacious home offers 5 bedrooms (including one on the first floor), 2 full bathrooms, and a large fenced backyard--perfect for kids, pets, and gatherings.
The first floor features a bedroom, living room, center hall with cedar storage closets and basement access, a large laundry room with two closets, and a full bath with updated flooring and fresh paint. The formal dining room flows into a generous eat-in kitchen with great counter space and access to a recently rebuilt deck overlooking the beautiful fenced backyard. The home sits on a full acre with walking trails, wildflowers, and peaceful sunrises.
Upstairs you'll find four bedrooms, two of which have been fully remodeled, along with a beautifully renovated full bath featuring tiled shower, dual vanities, and custom shelving. A versatile bonus room offers space for a family room, gym, or additional bedroom, and another bedroom at the back of the home includes exterior access to the second-floor deck--perfect for quiet evenings or stargazing.
Major updates include a brand-new roof (2024), newly built and sealed wood fence (2024), recently replaced hot water heater and well pump, and a regularly serviced furnace. Heating options include an oil furnace and a cozy pellet stove. Located across from Faith Bible College International, the home is just 30 minutes to Bangor, 15 minutes to Dover-Foxcroft, and 40 minutes to Newport and I-95.
