About This Home

Beautifully renovated brick home on 1.97 acres offering exceptional space, natural light, and flexibility--all just minutes from Historic Bath and Bath Creek. With no zoning restrictions and no city taxes, this property provides rare freedom, privacy, and long-term value in a highly desirable location.

Completely updated throughout, the home features new flooring, updated bathrooms, and a stunning kitchen with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances including a gas cooktop, built-in microwave, and dishwasher, and a bright bay window breakfast nook. The renovation blends high-end finishes with everyday functionality, creating a home that feels both refined and comfortable.

The main level offers an inviting and highly functional layout with a formal living room, formal dining room, spacious family room with fireplace, and a sun-filled sunroom that connects seamlessly to an expansive deck overlooking the private backyard. Nearly every space is filled with natural light and designed for both relaxed living and entertaining.

With 5 bedrooms and approximately 15 total rooms/living spaces, the home offers exceptional flexibility without limitation. Four full bathrooms serve the main home, including one located within a private apartment-style space off the sunroom--ideal for guests or extended stays.

Additional spaces significantly expand the property's versatility. A 26' x 20' garage off the sunroom provides excellent storage, parking, or workshop use. The lower level includes a second oversized 27' x 24' garage along with a large 27' x 20' fireplace room, a separate 15' x 13' room, utility area, and a private suite-style section with kitchen and bath. This level functions beautifully for multigenerational living, recreation, hobbies, or flexible work-from-home needs.

Set on nearly two private acres, the home offers both space and serenity while remaining close to waterfront dining, Historic Bath, and local amenities. Bright, beautifully renovated, and remarkably versatile, this is a property designed to adapt, entertain, and grow with its next owner.
