About this home
Step into this beautifully updated historic Gorham colonial, which retains its timeless character while thoughtfully incorporating every modern comfort. Offering 3,320 sq. ft. of living space, 4-5 bedrooms on the second floor, 2.5 baths, 8 fireplaces, front and back staircases and Central Air Conditioning, the Samuel Staples House is a rare blend of 18th century charm and contemporary updates. The chef's dream kitchen is part of the 2012 addition done by M.R. Brewer, and features granite & wood countertops, premium appliances, and a walk-in pantry. Once an inn run by Samuel Staples, and moved to its current location in the summer of 1976 from the corner of Elm and Main Streets, this home abounds with history yet sits on a modern concrete foundation, giving you a nice big basement for additional storage.
A 2nd floor primary suite offers a private retreat with an ensuite that includes both a soaking tub and separate shower. Original honey toned wide pine floors, paired with abundant natural light help create warmth and character throughout.
Step outside to enjoy beautifully planned mature perennial gardens that complement the level, open 0.92-acre lot. A few trees strategically placed around the edges of the lot provide tons of privacy while living so close to the center of town.
A detached 2-car garage with pull-down storage above adds everyday convenience and a place for all your toys. Central air, natural gas Buderus Boiler, and public water/sewer make this home truly move-in ready, all just minutes from downtown Gorham. A property with this history and quality rarely comes to market. Don't miss your chance to own a piece of Maine's past, updated for today. Fun Fact: The first meeting of the Board of Trustees that established Gorham Academy was held in this house in 1803!...
