In 1873, local merchant Edgar Stackpole, built this elegant Mansard-style Victorian to graciously welcome family and guests to the heart of Thomaston, Maine. The current stewards upgraded many features and carefully designed the whimsical color scheme drawing you onto the comfortable sitting porch and beckoning you inside to the grand rooms. The extra tall ceilings on both the first and second floors accentuate the cozy rooms while an abundance of windows washes the home with natural light. Authenticity is mixed with modern features including a new custom kitchen with first floor laundry, interior access to the large 2-car garage and a first-floor primary bedroom with a walk-in closet and private entry to the full bathroom. Throughout the period light fixtures, large wood interior doors, moldings, trim, and wood floors maintain original beauty honoring the rich history of owners and historical events since the late 1800's. The stunning front staircase leads upstairs to a wide-open hallway and two large guest bedrooms. Another sunny hallway leads you to the back of the house to two smaller bedrooms, well suited as office or den spaces. Above the garage is a large open, unfinished loft area, perfect as a maker's space, art studio or finished living space to suit your lifestyle. Mature perennials and flowering trees decorate all sides of this elevated lot with private driveway and large garage. Best of all, you are located in the heart of town just one block from Thomaston's ever emerging Main Street shops, restaurants, and services and to the far southerly end of Knox Street the wide-open expanse of the St. George River. In this neighborhood you are surrounded by many lovingly maintained historical homes that carry the spirit and character of Thomaston's unique merchant and shipbuilding roots. 21 Knox Street exudes charm and offers modern functionality - two worlds in one very tempting package.
