This is one of the grand old homes of Houlton, originally built for a founding businessman and pillar of the community. This stately home has three full stories with beautiful fireplaces, woodwork, and historic charm. The rooms are large with plenty of light. The nearly three-quarter acre lot abounds with perennial beds, raspberry bushes and flowering trees and shrubs. Situated on a quiet side street, it is centrally located and close to downtown, interstate, airport and border. Elm Street is a perfect place to live because it is just around the corner from high school, the athletic fields, Millar Arena, the park, and all of the great walking trails that go through the woods, fields, and along the river. Anybody with a family would thrive living this close to the heartbeat of this town, with easy access to the Just For Kids playground and summer program, the afterschool programs at the Gentle Memorial building rec center and sports activities. In addition, it is just a short - 4 blocks! - walk to Market Square to pick up things from the Farmers Market on Saturday morning and enjoy lunch at the Co-Op. This 6 bedroom, 3 bath home would make a spectacular bed and breakfast with the large parking area and two full kitchens. Add a little period furniture and decor and it would be so charming. It also wouldn't take much to make a studio apartment with a separate entrance in the back, utilizing the existing 2nd kitchen and adjacent storage space. If desired, the entire house could readily convert to 2 large apartments. The electrical already is split with 2 meters and there are 4 heat zones. Many updates and restorations have lovingly begun. Yes, there is still an opportunity for some TLC. There is nothing structural needed though, this house has great bones. Anybody with a few skills and some tools in their belt could make short work of any desired cosmetic upgrades.
