About this home
Charming Historic Colonial Overlooking Chapin Park - Bangor, Maine
Welcome to this elegant and spacious historic Colonial in the heart of Bangor, offering more than 2,000 square feet of beautifully crafted living space. Overlooking the picturesque Chapin Park, this home combines classic architectural details with modern flexibility for today's lifestyle.
The first floor features soaring 10-foot ceilings, rich hardwood floors, and abundant natural light from oversized windows. A formal dining room opens through sliding doors to a private deck—ideal for entertaining or enjoying quiet evenings outdoors. The kitchen is a functional and inviting space with a center island and a charming butler's pantry and tin ceilings. You'll also find a cozy living room, a bright home office, and a gracious formal entry with a show-stopping carved newel post and intricate woodwork on the staircase.
In addition to the main living areas, the first floor offers a spacious entry room perfect for storage or potential expansion into a second full bathroom. Two staircases—one grand and formal in the front and a second, more private staircase in the rear—offer easy access to the second level.
Upstairs you'll find 9-foot ceilings, four generous bedrooms, and a full bath featuring a romantic clawfoot tub. There's also an unfinished room waiting to become your dream craft or hobby space.
The full basement is ideal for DIYers or hobbyists, with ample workspace and a ¾ bath for convenience. The home has two heating sources, an oil fired hot air system and a wood stove. Outside, a detached one-plus-car garage offers additional storage.
Best of all, the property directly fronts 6-acre Chapin Park—home to summer concerts by the Bangor Band, a playground, and green space for family gatherings. Whether you're enjoying the views from your porch or hosting a picnic in the park, this home offers timeless charm and everyday livability in a truly special location.
