About This Home

16 Brighton Avenue

Located on a quiet village street, this stately Late Victorian farmhouse offers the opportunity to step into an established neighborhood where many homes date to the same era and a true sense of community endures. Built in the late 1800's and once owned by a successful quarry owner, Joseph Black, the home combines classic Maine architecture with timeless character, with original period details that remain as appealing today as when the house was first built. A welcoming foyer with original double entry doors introduces gracious living spaces that flow naturally from room to room. The bright eat-in kitchen opens to a formal dining room designed for gatherings, while the comfortable living room is highlighted by a charming bay window. The second floor offers two bedrooms and a spacious bath, while the third floor provides two additional guest bedrooms. Attached to the residence is a 1½-story shed connected to the laundry area near the kitchen. This versatile space includes a first-floor bath, loft, abundant storage, and sliding doors opening to the deck. Whether envisioned as a workshop, home office, guest overflow, or future first-floor bedroom suite, it offers flexibility to suit your lifestyle. Outside, established perennial gardens, mature trees, and a deck with decorative cottage-style railings provide inviting spaces for morning coffee, summer meals, and relaxed evenings at home. Adding to the property's appeal is an abutting lot with public water and sewer already in place. Whether retained for privacy, preserved as open space, or utilized for a guesthouse, studio, or additional dwelling (subject to local permits), this extra parcel represents a rare and valuable opportunity. From morning walks to Lane's Island and neighborhood gatherings to dinners at local restaurants, this property offers more than a classic Maine farmhouse-it offers the chance to become part of a vibrant village community.
