Inside, you'll find unique features that set this home apart, including graceful archways, beautiful woodwork, an original mural featuring homes from Wiscasset's famed 'Museum in the Streets', and the distinctive curved ceilings on the third floor that add warmth and character to the upper-level living spaces. The home has been extensively updated with new windows throughout, beautifully renovated 2.5 bathrooms, fresh exterior paint, updated appliances, and a new porch, allowing you to enjoy the home's historic appeal with modern comfort.
