Step into the timeless elegance of this lovingly maintained 1888 Victorian, where historic character and recent updates come together in one of Bangor's most convenient spots. Just moments from downtown and the waterfront, and with the new YMCA being built down the street, this home blends charm and convenience. Inside, a spacious and versatile layout features a renovated eat-in kitchen, four-plus bedrooms, and two tastefully remodeled Victorian-inspired baths. Recent improvements, including a newer roof, exterior restoration, updated insulation and electrical upgrades, add peace of mind. Outdoor spaces include stone paths, raised beds, fruit trees, raspberries, herbs, perennials, fragrant honeysuckle, plus a patio and cedar sun shed. Rich in history and full of character, this exceptional Victorian is ready to welcome its next owners.
West Side Village, located between the Penobscot River waterfront and I-395, is a residential and historic Bangor neighborhood with hillside streets and river-view pockets. Much of the area reads as classic New England: older wood-frame homes, compact blocks, and a walkable grid that slopes toward downtown. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Broadway corridor near the I-395 ramps, where corner storefronts, service shops, and steady traffic set an urban cadence. Community pillars nearby include the Bangor Public Library, the Maine Discovery Museum, and the Penobscot Theatre Company for nights out downtown. Side streets feel quieter, while riverfront paths and parks shape daily routines. The geography keeps downtown close without losing a lived-in, local feel.
