135 Main ST Sabattus, ME 04280

Welcome to The Lombard House, one of Maine's wonderful historic homes! This circa 1868 property was once part of the Luther Lombard Estate comprising more than 200 acres and multiple buildings. A very successful ship's captain and business magnate, Luther was part of founding at least two area mills while running a thriving estate farm. Upon his death in 1885, his heirs sold off much of the acreage leaving the large home and 2.7 acres available today. Directly across the road from the Sabattus River Mill Pond and Dam, this lovely property boasts 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and more than 2700 square feet. Gorgeous pumpkin pine floors still grace the entryway and several rooms throughout the house. Tin ceilings still shine in two different rooms and custom millwork on the fireplace and archways showcase the history of this home. In the basement, you will find a granite foundation topped with hand-laid bricks still featuring archways for cool storage or your new wine cellar. The large 3 bay garage was added more recently to provide space for all your water and outdoor toys, while also allowing extensive room for vehicles. The grounds have beautiful established landscaping, including grapevines, holiday berries, and much more. The age of this home means there are needed renovations, while it's livable in the current condition. Several rooms had damaged plaster that has already been removed and is ready for drywall and paint. The main floor living space has been opened up for a more modern floor plan open to the kitchen. An incredible antique cast iron stove will be included in the sale and could easily be placed in the open area for warmth and authentic cooking. Renovations have begun in several rooms. Likely will not qualify for FHA, VA, RD. Being sold AS-IS.
