64 Leighton Street, Bangor, ME 04401

Deep in the heart of Little City, on the corner of Leighton and Congress Streets, you will find this restored Bangor Box. The renovation of this open four square has been lovingly completed by the current owner and is ready for your touch. The double living room and double primary suite each have two sliding glass doors to allow the sun to pour in, large enough to enjoy as two separate spaces if desired. The gleaming hardwood floors show the historical detail of the curved stairwell on the first floor and the broad white trim. The kitchen is updated with light wood cabinets; the centerpiece is a river rock hearth and a large wood stove. The adjoining den has a beautiful fireplace, French doors to the foyer, door with transom to the kitchen to give a private office space or first floor bedroom. Both of the chimney flues have been lined with a product called Supaflu and are ready for your use for years to come. The third floor is a sanctuary spa wrapped in cedar, with a clawfoot tub and a large heat pump for relaxing pleasure all year round. The famous Walter Musson serviced the slate roof; he repointed the chimney and put a new cap on it simultaneously. The house was raised a few years ago and set back on new foundation walls, with drainage added. The concrete floors and walls are treated with moisture block. The two-car garage has a newer metal roof, a new entry door, and a new overhead door with an automatic opener. The new 151,000 BTU gas boiler, heat pump and insulation add efficiency and new 200 amp electrical panel with all updated wiring add to the value of this beautiful home. These significant updates and features are on a large lot with enough room to have one section fenced and the other to enjoy openly. If you want to live in this lovely neighborhood, close to the concerts, downtown and seafood, this may be the perfect home for you!
