Property Description

Welcome to one of Hallowell's most iconic and photographed historic homes, once owned by Joseph Bodwell, a former Governor of Maine and founder of Hallowell Granite Works. This architectural gem has been meticulously restored, honoring its rich heritage while embracing contemporary living. This top-floor unit offers the most privacy and is the most light-filled of all. You will enjoy its airy, flowing layout with soaring cathedral ceilings and oversized windows that bathe the space in natural light throughout the day. Premium finishes include gleaming hardwood floors, granite countertops, and a beautifully renovated bathroom with stacked laundry. The open-concept kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining and living areas, creating an inviting space for entertaining or relaxing. The bedroom features exposed brick, large windows, and a warm, intimate ambiance. In addition to the formal entrance, the back stairwell includes built-in coat and shoe storage. Ascend the custom cherry staircase to the widow's watch, a unique loft space with panoramic 360° views of downtown Hallowell and the Kennebec River. It's perfect as a guest suite (fits a queen bed), home office, reading nook, or creative studio. Other features include energy-efficient heating and cooling via natural gas and heat pump, a one-car end bay in the garage with extra storage space along the wall and ample second-level storage, a professionally landscaped and maintained shared courtyard with brick pathways, vibrant trim details, and a classic slate roof.
