1302 High St, Bath, ME 04530

Historic charmer + naturalist/gardener's dream. Meticulously maintained c. 1755 Cape is surrounded by scenic conserved land and enjoys birds, wildlife, trees, shrubs, stone walkways, and garden beds. Close to downtown but sits on a private 1-acre lot that includes a paved drive, 2-car garage & modern studio space and separate large workshop building--both complete with heat pumps for year-round use. This historic Cape has a rich history as one of the first 12 buildings in the Long Reach section of Bath, and served as a one of Bath's first taverns, named Lambert Tavern after its builder. Here in Revolutionary War times, one of the King's agents who was cutting lumber for the King's Dock at the end of nearby Harward street was detained for several days before he was returned to the British in exchange for a Bath man. Several generations since, this home has been lovingly maintained by the same owners for over 30 years and includes a modern kitchen with quality custom cabinetry, stylish honed granite countertops, and updated appliances. The first floor also includes a large living area, a den or first-floor bedroom with nearby updated full bath, and 'fun' room with a large picture window overlooking conserved fields, charming stone walls, and an impressively large pine tree standing resolute. Private deck offers perfect spot to enjoy the beautiful grounds, complete w/a sunshade awning for cool comfort. Upstairs find 3 tidy bedrooms, each with built-in closets or knee-wall drawers, and another full bath. Gorgeous wide pine floors throughout both floors. Basement is as meticulous as house & grounds. Spray foam walls and vapor barrier floors. New Viessman boiler, water heater, and electric panel. Wired full-house generator, radon mitigation system. Enjoy a rich mix of history, natural beauty, character, modern convenience & perfect location here! ***OFFER DEADLINE MON. 6/17 by 5 p.m. Expect response w/in 24 hours.****
