A RARE opportunity! Glidden Street was awarded, by Downeast Magazine, the distinction of being the Loveliest of Lanes! This water-view home has been magnificently restored! An in-town Gem with water views of Damariscotta River! Built during the heyday of shipbuilding in the 1800s, this antique home resides on stunningly beautiful & tree-lined Glidden Street. Reminiscent of a time period captured on canvas by Currier & Ives. Since 2017, this property has been thoughtfully and thoroughly renovated with special care & attention to retaining the historic details of the Period. Gorgeous wood floors throughout shine with a rich patina! The new eat-in kitchen with exposed beams and gleaming granite countertops enjoys a working wood-burning fireplace. The formal dining room atmosphere is further enhanced by a wood-burning fireplace and authentic butler's pantry with built-in wine cooler! After dinner, guests enjoy the comfort of the grand living room and the warmth of a gas parlor stove. All new tiled bathrooms, re-glazed windows & re-plastered walls, energy efficient gas boiler for hot water baseboard heat, hybrid hot water heater & new roofing shingles round out the major house improvements. The gardens feature a multitude of mature perennial beds, lined with brick & granite walkways plus brick patio for al fresco dining. Attached barn has ample loft storage with car parking for 1 large vehicle or 2 smaller models. Less than 2 minute walk across the bridge to Twin Villages harbor & marina for all your boating/fishing needs. Enjoy an award-winning library, theater, bookshops, restaurants, cafes, shops & galleries. On the Newcastle side of the River, enjoy 2 popular eateries & highly-acclaimed Lincoln Academy. Two mins to LincolnHealth medical campus & 3 supermarkets. 15 mins to sandy Pemaquid Beach! Conveniently located to Rte 1 and all points north to Camden Hills, Snow Bowl & Farnsworth Museum and south to Bowdoin College, Bath & Maritime Museum plus Portland Jetport.
