Built circa 1840, this Vassalboro Greek Revival is charming w/several historic features. Located w/in minutes of China Lake, the home's graceful porch w/its white columns harken to a time gone by. Framed by its transom and sidelight windows, the front entry & a gorgeous peacock window over the west-facing gable, add to the home's historic beauty. Stepping into foyer, visitors are greeted by a striking spiral staircase, w/an original balustrade. Built by a shipwright, the stairs mimic a lighthouse's steps, curving 180 degrees. On either side of the foyer, two 12-sided parlors (one with a fireplace) add to the home's character with lovely molding and wide baseboards. Cornice-framed solid doors, pine floors, vintage wallpaper, antique doorknobs & latches enhance the decor. The kitchen exudes warmth w/pine walls/cabinets, a woodstove, a built-in pantry and a can shelf. The Belize rosewood countertop adds to its charm. A bedroom (w/a walk-in closet), bath, & annex for the refrigerator and range finish the 1st floor. On the home's east end, a wonderful sunporch views tranquil woods and a stream. Upstairs, two more bedrooms − the larger one with the gorgeous fan window − complete this home w/ its solid roof, new furnace & oil tank. Set in the old village of East Vassalboro, the home is 15 minutes to Augusta and Waterville. A historic beauty waiting for an owner to appreciate its graceful architecture.
