Welcome to 79 Russell Street, a beautifully maintained stunning Victorian-style home that blends historic character with thoughtful modern upgrades. Built in 1900, this 4BR/2BA home includes over 2,200 square feet of living space all set on a charming in-town lot just minutes from downtown Bath.
Inside you'll find warm hardwood floors, classic architectural details, and unique features such as gracefully curved walls that reflect the craftsmanship of the era. The second floor features four bedrooms and a full bath, and has been thoughtfully renovated while still preserving the home's historic charm. New windows installed throughout much of the home enhance energy efficiency while maintaining the property's classic appeal. The third floor, highlighted by a distinctive eyebrow dormer, is an incredible light-filled bonus space that offers additional living space or recreational space and features a heat pump for efficient year-round comfort.
Significant upgrades include: new roof (2020), new propane steam boiler (2025), B-Dry basement system (2020), and new windows (2020-2025). Outside, the property has seen extensive landscaping improvements, creating attractive outdoor spaces including a new privacy fence which adds both function and seclusion, and the addition of various fruit trees and berry bushes. Find sunshine or shade any time of day on the generous curved wrap-around porch. A 2-car garage includes a storage loft and built in workbench.
Located in the historic city of Bath--known as the ''City of Ships''--this home offers easy access to downtown shops, restaurants, the waterfront, and local parks. With its blend of timeless Victorian charm and significant recent upgrades, 79 Russell Street is a rare opportunity to enjoy historic living with modern comfort.
