Tucked into the heart of the sought-after Bates College neighborhood, this cedar-shingled English Tudor-style cottage is a rare find in the Lewiston-Auburn market. This property offers authentic architectural character that simply cannot be replicated. From the moment you arrive, the steeply pitched roofline, original brick chimney, and mature landscaping signal that something special awaits inside. Step through the front door and the craftsmanship stops you in your tracks. The grand living room is anchored by a coffered ceiling, intricate panel millwork, built-in arched shelving, and gleaming hardwood floors. A stunning white cast-iron wood stove nestled into the original fireplace surround adds warmth and charm that no modern build can match. The formal dining room is nothing short of showstopping. Hand-painted scenic murals wrap the entire room, a crystal chandelier hangs from a coffered ceiling, and built-in arched china cabinets flank the windows. An entertainer's dream dressed in one-of-a-kind artistry. Two stunning original stained glass windows add to the home's artistry -- from the colorful leaded entry panel to the magnificent arched staircase window with its intricate Art Nouveau design framed by original wood shutters. These are the details that will stop you mid-tour. Upstairs, one bedroom features a dramatic bank of four arched windows framing views of blooming cherry trees. Another is bathed in natural light from a skylight above with treetop views and a sense of calm that is hard to leave. Original paneled doors with brass hardware connect the rooms with quiet elegance. The bathrooms carry the home's artistic spirit forward with bold cobalt blue tile, a mosaic arched tub surround, and a pedestal sink with chrome fixtures. Set on a generous lot with mature plantings and a detached garage, just steps from the Bates campus.
