SOUTH LINCOLNVILLE HOME

Embraced by a wonderful wraparound porch, this south Lincolnville house is ready to be a single-family home again. Located on the south end of Buena Esperanza (and who could resist living in the neighborhood of Good Hope), this circa 1920 residence enjoys an oversized lot for the neighborhood. Inside you’ll find generous rooms, abundant natural light from the many windows, wood floors and a floorplan that will accommodate a variety of lifestyles and configurations.  Currently in use as a duplex, the grandfather rights expired long ago and present-day zoning does not allow for multifamily so the next owner must return it to single-family use.

The first floor has an en-suite bedroom and a second bedroom that can be incorporated into additional living, dining or flex space as needed. The central gathering room is large and all rooms flow from the heart of the house. A 16′ x 12′ kitchen has a full bath and utility room off it and this large room opens to a covered patio in back. The second floor is accessed by both an interior and exterior stairway. Two bedrooms and two baths surround the central living room and the upstairs kitchen will make a great gathering room once the conversion has occurred. The sun deck creates another outdoor living room facing the backyard where the adjacent tree canopy makes for a privacy screen.

Whatever your passion – art, yoga, meditation, woodworking, music – the two outbuildings located in the respective rear corners of the backyard will be most welcome. Each is equipped with a window unit and a bathroom so you can practice your discipline uninterrupted. On the north side of the house, there is plenty of room for off-street parking and there is sufficient lot coverage for a garage if you have the need.

In the middle of a favorite residential neighborhood, Lake Maria Sanchez is around the corner and there’s a beautiful marsh for bird watching just down the block. On Sundays you can walk or bike to the Lincolnville Farmer’s Market for fresh produce, cool stuff, delicious prepared food and some live music. Come late spring the new community swimming pool will be open at the Willie Galimore Center so you can get your exercise in your own “backyard.” Check it out – we’ll be waiting for you on the porch.
