Every inch of 185 Broadway captivates the senses and soul. With its rich history and enchanting gardens, this cottage-style Victorian is one of Rockland's downtown gems. It is one of five, same style adjacent homes, all built by Wellington G. Singhi beginning in 1889. 185 Broadway was Mr. Singhi's personal residence while he rented the other four properties. The home blends Victorian character with early Craftsman details, including room-defining pillars, decorative molding, a curved staircase, and cozy square footage. The first floor flows from the glassed-in sitting porch into the front parlor, dining room, kitchen, and rear den with a powder room and laundry. Warning, the front porch is intensely inviting; you may not make it through the rest of the house before falling in love. Upstairs are two bedrooms with ample closet spaces and a full bath with a soaking tub, separate shower, and diamond-patterned tile floor. A rear mudroom adds practical storage, while the 800 sq. ft. workshop/studio at the end of the driveway--with two large Rinnai heaters--offers flexible space for artists, craftspeople, or other uses. Professionally designed gardens brim with Maine perennials enhancing the exterior beauty and privacy, and the outdoor sitting area off the back entry is ideal for company and outdoor meals. Showings begin Friday, August 7.
