What's special

Modern living meets timeless beauty at the James Pray House on historic Elm Street in the heart of Topsham. Built in 1810, this Federal-style Cape blends original architectural details with thoughtful updates for everyday comfort. The bright, inviting living room features 8½-foot ceilings and an oversized fireplace with an original beehive oven. In the rear ell, the updated kitchen offers stainless steel appliances, maple cabinetry, honed granite countertops, and a farmhouse sink. Vaulted ceilings and original hand-hewn beams create a warm setting for morning coffee or gathering with friends. Beyond the kitchen, a spacious bonus room currently serves as a home gym, with flexibility for a mudroom, playroom, or other uses. A sunny first-floor primary bedroom sits beside a full bathroom, while two large bedrooms occupy the second floor. Laundry is conveniently located on the first floor. Outside, a spacious deck invites summer dinners and relaxed evenings overlooking the backyard, complete with multilevel platforms. The separate carriage house, dating to 1860, offers parking for one vehicle and storage for tools, equipment, and recreational gear. Enjoy nearby schools, the library, and Foreside Recreation Area, plus easy access to downtown Brunswick's coffee shops, restaurants, and locally owned stores. Nearby Bowdoin College offers museums, concerts, lectures, and cultural events, making an afternoon exhibit or evening performance part of the lifestyle. Portland is approximately 30 miles away, keeping city amenities within easy reach. Historic character, modern comfort, and a location that brings the best of the area close to home.
