3 Baker St, Richmond, ME 04357

Gorgeous historic house fully restored and updated with brand-new high-end systems in an undiscovered treasure of a centrally-located small riverfront town with a great Main-Street feel. Looking for clean, careful, and thoughtful tenants to call it home. A few steps from the waterfront park and Swan Island ferry. Recent improvements include all new wiring, new roof, new baths, new paint job, new kitchen (with premium appliances), new storm windows, new water boiler, restored windows, new HE washer and dryer, newer furnace, blown-in insulation, dimmer switches and recessed lighting, high-end trim and wall paint throughout, refinished floors. Three/four bedrooms, open layout, great light, seasonal Kennebec views. Clawfoot tub, bay window, beadboard, plaster walls, tons of original built-ins, serious charm. Newly installed Jotul wood stove with glass doors for charm and affordable heating. The house is across the street from the waterfront park and dock - bring your kayaks and canoe - and a stone's throw from Richmond's small but thriving downtown district. "The Acropolis on the Kennebec" has an incredible wealth of well-maintained historic homes dating to the whaling era, and many grand front-columned Greek Revival buildings. For a period it was known as "Little Russia" due to its many Russian and Ukrainian emigres - including a grandson of Leo Tolstoy and a cousin of Czar Nicholas I - and features the only Russian Orthodox church in Maine. Walk to restaurants, shops, groceries, hardware store, library, schools, and a seriously great bar/panini joint. Great biking and walking opportunities along the scenic river trail, as well as day hikes, camping, and bald-eagle sighting on facing Swan Island. Centrally located, easy commute to Brunswick, Augusta, Bath, Freeport, or even Portland.

The house is exquisite and I'm looking for tenants who will treat it with the same respect as their own home. References required. Available August 1st. Utilities not included.
