Historic building in Topsham's Middle Village neighborhood featuring a unique layout and many original architectural details. 38 Main Street was formerly home to the Androscoggin Engine House (fire department), and the Topsham Public Library*, and is zoned for single-family living; a duplex; and certain commercial uses. The possibilities here are as unique as the building itself. The first floor provides 1,200 sf of living space that includes a kitchen; living room; dining room; den; and two bedrooms. A full bath and utility/laundry room complete the first floor. The second floor features an eat-in kitchen; one bedroom; a full bath; and a stunning loft-style space perfect for open concept living; an art studio; office; or creative workspace. The attic provides a large, finished bonus room for additional flexible space, along with ample dry storage. Set on a generous 0.52-acre in-town lot, the property offers room to garden; a charming small stream; and a beautiful, wooded backdrop -- a peaceful retreat just minutes from everything. With excellent visibility, easy access to I-295 and the Topsham Fair Mall, and downtown Brunswick's amenities just a short stroll over the beautiful, new Frank Wood Bridge, this location offers convenience, charm, and endless potential. Priced below recent appraised value. A very rare opportunity! (*From Topsham's website: 'The Topsham Public Library opened its doors on February 7, 1931, with 1500 books on its shelves, on the first floor of the old Androscoggin Engine House at 38 Main Street.)
