If you are looking for an authentic Victorian with original architectural details, a fabulous lot in the historic district of a Maine coastal city that was named one of the 2010 America' s Dozen Distinctive Destinations by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, you ll want to take a look at my home.
It 's location on one of Rockland s most prestigious streets, across from the library, just steps away from Rockland Harbor and the city center with its quaint shops, renowned restaurants, art galleries and museums, make it an ideal spot for you and your family or for a charming B&B.
Built in the 1870' s and owned by Rockland' s Mayor in the 1890 s, my nearly 3600 sq ft Victorian has original Eastlake molding, original hardwood floors, three pocket doors, jeweled stained glass windows, a paneled oak staircase you' ll fall in love with, a wonderful butler 's pantry and original solid brass gas-converted-to-electric lighting fixtures.
My home has not been on the market since 1918, when it was purchased by a local doctor, who used it for his practice as well as his residence. It is perfectly livable as is, but is looking for a new owner who can bring it completely back to its late 19th century beauty. It has a new roof, a 5 year old 2 zone furnace, brand new oil tank, new wiring throughout, including the antique fixtures, and many cosmetic updates. It boasts 11 rooms, 2 baths, 3 entrances, front and back stairs, working kitchens on both floors, a full high ceilinged attic, solid dry basement and as many gardens as any Victorian enthusiast would want.
To be sure, it is still a work in progress, with deferred maintenance that you ll want to get to such as exterior restoration, plus an undo of the 1970 s kitchen. Come take a tour of a bygone era, and I ll share with you the history and romance of 11 Beech Street. This is a unique opportunity for you to write the next chapter in its long and interesting life.
