Tucked away on a quiet side street in downtown Bath, 16 Beacon Street stands as a gateway to the quintessential Maine coastal lifestyle! Uniquely positioned just a block from the Kennebec River and walking distance to the amenities of downtown, restaurants, shopping and the waterfront park. This remarkable turn of the century residence beams with character and charm! A versatile first floor offers a spacious kitchen with finishes and design reminiscent of a beachfront cottage- with an abundance of storage, built-in pantry, and open shelving. Moving into the dining room, one is greeted by delightful natural light, along with an enamel cast iron LP parlor stove and the living room is open to the dining area and creates a flow of interconnectivity without being 'open'. The ceilings/ plaster have been removed to exposed rugged timbers/ floor joists, white washed for enhanced light and creating a more spacious feel. The upper level is a home to 2 full sized bedrooms, and full bathroom with clawfoot tub/ shower. Outside, the lot is quaint, built into the rock, the grounds are covered with a variety of perennials and plantings, accompanied by a lovely shed of which serves for utility or would make great little studio! While having been lovingly maintained, this home is ideal for the Buyer looking to enhance and modernize, as many of the original features have been preserved- wide plank pine flooring, original wavy glass windows, antique light fixtures, this is an exceptional opportunity to own a piece of downtown Bath that is available for the first time in generations! If you're drawn to the water and the allure of maritime activities, you'll appreciate the unparalleled convenience of this location. Whether it's leisurely walks through the historic downtown, or boating on the Kennebec, this vibrant community and deep-rooted maritime culture is at your fingertips!
