Oh, my heart is absolutely melting for this beautiful 1909 home in West Paris! If you love real historic character, you will fall in love with the stunning woodwork found throughout the entire house. The walls are dressed in classic wallpaper, and the home features gorgeous original pocket doors that separate the formal dining room from the living room. It feels like stepping into a peaceful time machine.
The absolute best part of this house has to be the high tin ceilings. They add so much grand charm and height to the rooms, a detail you just cannot find in modern houses today. Picture hosting winter dinners in the dining room next to a warm, crackling fire in your real wood-burning fireplace. There is even a spacious old-fashioned pantry complete with a deep sink, which is a dream for anyone who loves cooking and vintage charm.
Sometimes old houses can scare people away with hidden problems, but a lot of the heavy lifting is already finished here. In 2017, this home received a brand-new septic system, all-new electrical throughout, new water lines, new cabinets, and some fresh flooring. It does need a new roof, which is a great chance to pick your own colors and add instant equity to a beautiful property.
Outside, you get a lovely, flat yard that is super easy to care for and enjoy. It includes a great separate barn and garage area, perfect for a workshop, storage, or hobbies. If you ever need more living space, there is also a huge third floor just waiting to be finished. This home is a true Maine treasure waiting for its next chapter!
