This bright and charming 4 bed, 2 bath Victorian is located in the heart of Machias and has all the grandeur and distinctive characteristics of its time period. The south and east facing, 3-story turret adds to its charm as well as being ideal for plant life on every level. The covered wrap-around porch welcomes you to the foyer and stately front stairs. Stain glass windows, intricate woodwork, and trim work adorn the home. The first floor is generous with space and has a full bath, eat-in kitchen, dining room, living room, mudroom with backstairs to an upstairs bedroom, and the front den has served as a bedroom, making this home easy to be one-floor living. The second floor has four bedrooms and full bath. The front, east-side bedroom would be an excellent office, and the back, west-side bedroom has a laundry closet as well as walk-in closet with trapdoor to the backstairs which take you back to the kitchen. The attic is large and great for storage; with its cathedral ceiling it could become more living space. Attached is a two-story woodshed with the 2nd floor loft serving as a workshop. There is no lack of storage in this home and the full basement has many sets of wooden shelves available. In the back of the main house behind the woodshed is a classic, sturdy 1632 sq ft, 2-story barn. Large enough to store two vehicles on the first level with extended room. The backside has an attached garden shed and grain storage room. The 2-story loft of the barn is huge with a hay loft door easy for transfer of items. The L-shaped lot is a half acre and has a lush, fenced-in garden which could be expanded. The length of the home faces the south and benefits from passive solar warmth all year. Sidewalks take you to the near the town amenities. This incredible home has a bit of everything, private yard space, generous deck for entertaining, back fields, covered wrapped around porch, plenty of parking and ease to amenities, a must see!
