Some homes are renovated. This one has been reimagined. Welcome to a home that has been lovingly transformed over the past 20 years by owners whose passion and profession are craftsmanship and design. As professional contractors, painters, they purchased this home with every intention of living here for the rest of their lives. Because this was meant to be their forever home, every improvement was made with longevity, quality, and beauty in mind--not resale. They never cut corners or compromised on materials, consistently investing in premium products, exceptional workmanship, and timeless design. The result is a truly remarkable property that blends classic character with modern luxury-one that could easily grace the pages of Good Housekeeping or Downeast magazine. Perfectly situated on the highly sought-after wide section of Maple Street, you'll enjoy one of Bangor's most desirable neighborhoods while being just minutes from the interstate, shopping, restaurants, hospitals, parks, schools, and downtown. The exterior was designed with beauty and low maintenance in mind, featuring color-coordinated cement board siding, AZEK decking, and a stunning 10-foot cedar privacy fence that creates an exceptional backyard retreat. Step inside and you'll immediately appreciate the warmth and craftsmanship that define this home. Beautiful hardwood floors extend throughout most of the living spaces, complemented by tile in the kitchen, waterproof flooring in the bathrooms, and elegant stone veneer in the foyer. The beautifully updated kitchen offers granite countertops, quality cabinetry, and modern finishes designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The living room is anchored by an extraordinary and exceptionally rare tiger maple mantel surrounding the fireplace-a true statement piece that perfectly reflects the character of this home. And just when you think you've seen it all...yes, there's even a bomb shelter in the basem
