Nestled in the heart of Island Falls, Maine, this exquisite 5-bedroom, 2-bath Queen Anne Victorian home sits on a meticulously maintained 0.81± acre lot. Built in 1893 by George Kelley, a prominent Timber Baron of the late 19th century, this approximately 2700 square foot residence boasts timeless architectural details and modern upgrades. Upon entry, you are greeted by a large wrap-around front porch, perfect for relaxing evenings, and a smaller side porch offering additional outdoor enjoyment. Inside, the home retains many of its historic features, meticulously preserved to honor its heritage. The kitchen features original cupboards, complete with a built-in flour bin and drawer-style bread board. Flowing from the kitchen, you'll find direct access to the formal dining room, butler's pantry, side porch, cold storage room, and formal living room, reflecting the home's Victorian era design. The dining room showcases stunning stained-glass windows, prevalent throughout the public spaces and master bedroom upstairs. Original built-in buffet/China cabinet, corner cupboard, and detailed woodwork highlight the era's emphasis on family gatherings and fine dining. The room's concentric square hardwood floor pattern and ornate plate rail further accentuate its historic charm, complemented by a plaster medallion ceiling where the chandelier hangs. The formal living room features traditional hardwood floors and a meticulously crafted mantle, a testament to the artisan's skill. A front parlor with a true parquet floor and expansive pocket doors provides privacy or openness as desired, enhancing the home's functionality. Recently, the sellers began a renovation, addressing immediate needs such as a new Biasi boiler and oil tank installation for efficient heating. Upgrades include new radiators with multiple heating zones, a fireplace insert in the living room for added warmth, and a new 200-amp electrical panel with updated wiring and added lighting fixtures.
