215 Talbot Avenue, Rockland, ME 04841

This grand Victorian home, prominently situated on historic Talbot Avenue is located just a short distance from the ferry terminal and downtown Rockland. As you enter the home from the welcoming enclosed front porch into the fireplaced foyer, there is easy access to all the first floor rooms, providing a wonderful flow, great for group gatherings. Uniquely charming and oh-so comfortable, the home has a fully remodeled kitchen and baths, yet maintains much of the character from 1897. The gourmet kitchen boasts cherry cabinetry, slate counters, a butcher block island, copper prep sink, and a commercial gas range. The rooms are spacious and bright with high ceilings and wood floors in most rooms. Historic details include pocket doors between the parlor and dining room, wainscoting in the dining room, a butler's pantry with additional storage, fireplace hearths and lots of original hardware such as door knobs and brass dust cups on the main staircase. Along with a number of other improvements such as replacement windows, the boiler, electric entrance, plumbing and roof have been recently replaced. The cheerful, enclosed front porch has been fully refurbished with new windows and ceiling fan and there is a newer deck, accessed right off the kitchen and privately located at the back of the house. A new asphalt driveway and gas fireplace hearth were installed in 2022. There is ample room for expansion, with a full-sized staircase in place to the 3rd floor attic, and a large, heated, daylight, walk-out basement has work benches and a utility sink. All the heavy work has been done leaving you time to enjoy life...
