Elegant 1860 Greek Revival within walking distance of historic downtown Machias. This excellent home has everything today's family might want including an office w/private entrance. Contrary to most homes of this era, this home features a water-tight bsmt, 2-car garage w/direct entry & more than 2500 sf of attic space. The home has been extensively renovated. The goal was to retain as much of the original design as possible (especially the 9 ft. ceilings in the main home) while creating guest bdrms, a guest bath w/laundry, & a luxurious 2nd level master suite [media room & master bdrm (surround-sound/HD TVs), en-suite, dressing room, breakfast bar & private stairway]. Versatility is exemplified with incorporation of a modern office (private entrance + direct garage entrance). This features a private stairway to the 2nd level which can add addn'l office space as needed. The welcoming kitchen/informal dining space has been thoughtfully re-designed w/custom butcher block counter tops, dedicated service areas/built-ins, walk-in pantry, new appliances, & side deck. New 1st level guest bdrm & remodeled bath. 2nd level features: 3 bdrms in addition to the afore-mentioned master suite. The home is equipped w/dimmable LED lighting, audio speakers, CAT-6 Ethernet, Cable TV cabling, WiFi Access Points & security system. The most eloquent renovation effort was the main staircase in the front entry. Elements needed were fabricated to create a magnificent entryway presentation. Improvements include: state of the art NTI 6 zone LP gas boiler w/Amtrol Boiler mate, roofing shingles, new windows, ext. paint; insulation replacement, bsmt re-conditioning/waterproofing, Kohler fixtures, & ext. RV Electrical Pedestal (electric, underground CAT-5 cables, pre-plumbed for water). Imagine the possibilities: amazing primary residence w/home office, family compound, corporate retreat, or a trendy B&B.
