The Burleigh-Sawyer House, built in 1850, is one of Bangor's perfectly preserved historic homes. On 1. 58 acres, this picturesque setting consists of the home, the original barn, and a three-car garage. The traditional front-to-back entrance hall means you can greet people from either side of the house, and it has a beautiful cross breeze. The Kitchen has been updated with custom cherry cabinets, a six-burner gas range with a ventilation hood, a center island with sink, a gas-burning ''wood stove, '' and the original butler's pantry. The dining room is grand, with high ceilings, a center chandelier, a chair rail, and a fireplace with gas logs.
The double living room is large enough to have a grand ball, with tall windows, ornate woodwork, and a fireplace. The study has a fireplace and built-in cabinetry. Finishing out the first floor is a small powder room in the center hall. Upstairs, you are greeted with a fully updated bath with black and white tile, a pedestal sink, and a tile shower, one of four baths on this level. The primary suite has two large closets, an ensuite bath with double sinks, and many original design features. The additional five bedrooms are all well-sized and have closets. The built-in cabinetry is in the second-floor hall, bedrooms, and laundry; this is an organized family dream! The widow's watch on the peak of the house is accessible by stairs from the second-floor landing and gives you a bird 's-eye view of the surroundings. The antique barn is a work of art and adds to the character of this home, and the three-car garage adds to the liveability here in Maine. You will want to come on a tour of this gem!
