Unique opportunity to own one of Gardiner's Victorian gems, just steps away from the historic downtown & waterfront. The house is only on the market because the homeowners were too heartbroken to continue their repair plans after a fire damaged their beloved forever home which they had invested so much into. The listing price reflects the need for repairs & the need for a new owner that has the energy, budget, & vision to bring this home back to its former glory (while taking advantage of the opportunity to make it their own). This is a very large home in a perfect setting, perched on the hill overlooking the downtown & the Kennebec River (beautiful seasonal water views). The heart of the home remains intact (the large living room with fireplace, foyer with original Victorian woodwork, & formal dining room with built-ins). A brand-new sizeable mudroom also remains intact. The remaining rooms on the first floor are gutted and ready for the new owners to build a very large dream kitchen, butler's pantry, full bath & laundry. Outside the kitchen is a large deck complete with new high-end metal railings that were newly installed as part of a major exterior investment as well as new stairs leading down to the backyard. Other improvements include a side porch, front porch stairs & railings, multi colored paint job on front and sides of the home, new driveway, brick walk, fenced-in backyard with artificial turf which makes the backyard a very low maintenance oasis. 1 car garage & carport are intact. The 3-story recent addition includes a new foundation, ground floor storage room, mudroom & space for a large master bathroom. There had been 4 bedrooms & 3 full bathrooms, with a loft-style office space on the 3rd floor-now being sold 'As-Is'. Currently these rooms have been gutted and await new vision. One of the best features is its location near the Common Park (quintessential New England Park with a gazebo) and short walk to the library and downtown.
