Historic building in Topsham's Middle Village neighborhood featuring a unique layout and many original architectural details. 38 Main Street was formerly home to the Androscoggin Engine House (fire department), and the Topsham Public Library*, and is zoned for single-family living; a duplex; and certain commercial uses. The possibilities here are as unique as the building itself. The first floor provides 1,200 sf of living space that includes a kitchen; living room; dining room; den; and two bedrooms. A full bath and utility/laundry room complete the first floor. The second floor features an eat-in kitchen; one bedroom; a full bath; and a stunning loft-style space perfect for open concept living; an art studio; office; or creative workspace. The attic provides a large, finished bonus room for additional flexible space, along with ample dry storage. Set on a generous 0.52-acre in-town lot, the property offers room to garden; a charming small stream; and a beautiful, wooded backdrop -- a peaceful retreat just minutes from everything. With excellent visibility, easy access to I-295 and the Topsham Fair Mall, and downtown Brunswick's amenities just a short stroll over the beautiful, new Frank Wood Bridge, this location offers convenience, charm, and endless potential. Priced below recent appraised value. A very rare opportunity!
