About This Home
As of December 2021Sunny updated Victorian farmhouse on a half-acre lot in desirable Topsham Heights, a quiet friendly neighborhood that is walking distance to Brunswick's vibrant downtown with Maine Street's shops, farmers' markets, bars, and restaurants. Enjoy the benefits of living close to Bowdoin College campus, the Amtrak train station, and the Androscoggin River trail to the historic Swinging Bridge. The Topsham Fair Mall and I-295 are just a mile or so to the north. A turn-key antique treasure, replete with original architectural details including 'gingerbread'; trim; striking tin ceiling in the kitchen; built-ins, and the floors in many of the rooms. The main house offers a flexible floor plan, including a first floor with newly remodeled eat-in kitchen; living room; and two additional rooms. What was the original dining room could be a second office or bedroom with its built-ins and proximity to a full bath. The second floor offers a new primary en-suite—what was once a bedroom was transformed into a very impressive primary bath with custom tile work; antique/repurposed sink; and dressing room. A second full bath and bedroom complete the second floor of the main house. A large utility room off the kitchen includes the first-floor laundry area, access to the porch and patio, inside garage entry, and the private staircase to the second-floor in-law apartment. The airy apartment allows guests to retreat for work or rest, or could be used as a short-term rental with its full kitchen; living room; dining area; two bedrooms; and a full bathroom. Opportunities for outdoor entertaining include a grand patio off the kitchen with lattice privacy fence; cozy side porch with ceiling fans; and a large open yard. A generous attached 2-car garage space for woodworkers, makers, and hobbyists. Basement with TC Hafford waterproofing system offers dry storage year-round. Invisible fence for dogs encompasses the whole property. A rare opportunity!
