    Full Property Details: www.lifestylepropertiesofmain...
    This 5-6-bedroom 1.5 bath Queen Anne Victorian home in the heart of Island Falls Maine is just waiting to be restored to its former glory. Built in 1893 by George Kelley, a Timber Baron/lumberman in the late 1800s and early 1900s, the home sits on a well-manicured 0.9+/- acre lot in the middle of Island Falls.
    The home has a large wrap around front porch as well as a smaller side porch. The kitchen still contains what are believed to be the original cupboards. The laundry area is in the kitchen. From the kitchen you can access the cold storage room and barn and the butler’s pantry as well as the rest of the home. The stained-glass windows and hardwood floors (including a true parquet floor in the music room) are in relatively good condition. The ornate woodwork and carvings throughout the home along with the pocket doors between the living room and music room testify to the workmanship of its builders and is most noticeable in the living room fireplace mantle. The final downstairs room was most likely the ladies’ day room and is now a half bath/bedroom but would make a nice office space or a second full bath.
    From the front entry you climb a curved staircase to the upstairs. The master bedroom echoes the downstairs with its stained-glass windows, hardwood floors and accented woodwork. 3 more bedrooms also have hardwood floors and closets. The 5th bedroom is on an offset hallway as is the full bath and the back stairs to the kitchen. In the bathroom is the entrance to the attic and cupola. The final feature of this floor is the sleeping porch overlooking the southern driveway.

      I agree. So many gorgeous older homes, mansions & cottages alike, are being destroyed by painting or tearing down irreplaceable woodwork. The newer generations seem to all want gray & white only. Really wish they wouldn't buy these homes & just build modern cookie cutter houses instead with one huge living area with white & gray bland interiors.
      My favorite era was the Arts & Crafts (1920s-1930s) period; losing the handcrafted wood detailed work by master craftsmen is a major loss of history. Done the right way, kitchens & bathrooms can be updated while still retaining the character and dignity of the original house.

      @@southernlady8809 I share your sadness toward our lost history. I often shake my head upon seeing such cheap materials and corners cut in construction. You probably know this, but I’d like to say that often all is not lost. Usually the best materials and artifacts are stripped, sold and enjoyed again by other homeowners. Though not the same as restoring entire homes, many people are able to enjoy whatever has been salvaged.

    Love the house! It reminds me of my great-grandparents house in a small town from the early 1900’s. They still had the original leaded glass windows, claw foot tubs, curved mahogany staircase and crystal doorknobs with skeleton keys. All the furniture was from 1920 and before. They had an orchard and a carriage house. I still have fond memories of my time spent there on vacations as a child and teenager in the 60’s and 70’s. It gave me appreciation for real wood and the importance of caring for things. I hope that the new owners don’t paint over everything.

    It's amazing that this house, in spite of the work it needs, is listed for under $100K! The overheated real estate market hasn't reached rural Maine, I guess. In spite of the house's issues, it also has a lot going for it. It's nice that most of the 1st floor rooms and the bedrooms are still in their original state, so they don't need much "undoing". The original millwork/casings are phenomenal!!

      @@wendybrown7068 you must be an under-40 city person-- i grew up with a CELLAR like that only with smaller stone-- you don't just 'jack it up and replace it'-- you work WITH it, especially massive rock like that. And unless it's in a flood zone, you work with the surrounding landscape to channel water away and create drainage. The ill-informed 'flip' mentality wastes SO much valuable quality material in their quest for speed. Yeah time is money, but sometimes that's a false economy. With the money you'd spend lifting that massive house and getting those massive boulders out of there,, then putting in some crap 21st century concrete, you could do a helluva lot.

The kitchen is large, take out the laundry and move it to the cold storage room, turn the barn into a gorgeous modern rustic great room barn style. Once the house is fully updated structurally, septics, electric, foundation, plumbing, lead and asbestos removal, heating and cooling, rotted wood and features replaced, roofing, insulation, windows repaired, I can see it being delightful. Need to add several modern full and half baths there. Expect to drop at least $300k there and rip down to the studs.
