48 School St, Cornish, ME 04020

Set just a short stroll from the heart of downtown Cornish, this classic New England home offers the kind of charm and character that's becoming harder to find. Originally built in 1890 and situated on approximately one acre, 48 School Street blends historic appeal with thoughtful updates and flexible living space. Spend your mornings walking to local cafés and antique shops, enjoy dinner at some of Cornish's beloved local restaurants, then come home to your own private retreat tucked among mature trees and open yard space. Inside, the home has been lovingly maintained while preserving much of its original warmth and personality. A brand-new roof adds peace of mind, while the finished bonus space above the garage creates endless possibilities for guests, a game room, home office, studio, or media space. The unfinished third floor offers additional expansion potential for those dreaming of even more living area down the road. Large living spaces, classic architectural details, and the perfect balance of cozy and functional make this home feel both timeless and inviting. Outside, the spacious lot provides room to entertain, garden, relax by a firepit, or simply enjoy the slower pace of life that makes Cornish so special. Combining walkability, privacy, updates, and future potential, this property captures the essence of small-town Maine living.
