Originally architect-designed and built in 1954 for a prominent Bangor family, this stunning single-story home has been extensively renovated and restored to near-new condition while preserving its timeless architectural character. Situated on a beautifully landscaped and private .46-acre lot with 136 feet of frontage, the property is surrounded by mature perennial gardens and flowering shrubs, creating an exceptional sense of privacy rarely found in city living. Offering 2,200 square feet on the main floor plus 700 square feet of finished basement space, the home features 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, including a private primary suite with en-suite bath. Bathrooms feature ceramic tile flooring, including a custom built-in makeup vanity in the full bath. The fully renovated kitchen showcases premium cabinetry, designer-panel refrigerator, stainless appliances, ceramic tile flooring, and a unique toe-kick heater warming the floor at the sink. Large windows throughout create bright, sun-filled living spaces true to classic Mid-Century Modern design. Major upgrades include a whole-house automatic generator, heat pump system, and Rinnai propane heater. Additional highlights include an 8x20 screened porch reinforced for a future hot tub, bright laundry room with laundry chute, 31x20 heated basement bonus room, 17x40 utility/workshop space, and attached 21x22 garage with automatic opener and built-in storage cabinetry. Ideally located just minutes from Bangor's two major hospitals, Bangor International Airport, excellent schools, the University of Maine, and Bangor's vibrant cultural attractions including Waterfront Concerts, dining, shopping, and the city's rich arts community.
