Property Description
NEW PRICE - exceptional space, history and opportunity in Bowdoin Center. Set on 2 open acres along a scenic stretch of Bowdoin's countryside, this antique Greek Revival farmhouse offers nearly 3,300 finished square feet, an oversized detached garage and a flexible 11-room layout with 6± bedrooms (6 BR) and 2.5 baths (2.5 BA). The home blends period character with meaningful updates, including wood floors, crown molding, medallions, built-ins, wood-burning fireplaces and generous gathering spaces. A refreshed kitchen features granite and soapstone counters, a bakery station, Candlelight cabinetry, high-capacity exhaust and a new 36-inch Forno propane range. The unfinished third-floor attic, measuring approximately 30' x 36', adds excellent potential for future finished space, studio, hobby area or storage. Seller-reported improvements include a 2018 Navien propane heating system with on-demand hot water, extensive wall insulation completed in 2019, Silver Line replacement windows, wiring upgraded prior to 2000, predominantly copper plumbing with some PEX, updated 2023 septic system, and new well jet pump and pressure tank in 2025/2026. Outside, enjoy open lawn, garden space and a striking 28-foot-wide detached 2-car garage with storage above. Convenient to Route 125, I-295 and Brunswick-area amenities, this distinctive Bowdoin property offers rare size, character, updates and value in one of the area's most recognizable village settings.
