Step into a piece of Washburn's rich history with the Stairs Family Homestead, a classic and sturdy New England residence located on storied Wilder Street—named after the prominent Henry Wilder family, whose legacy lives on at the nearby Wilder Museum. Built in 1900, the first 'block wall' home of its kind, this spacious four-bedroom home offers timeless character and solid bones, awaiting its next chapter. All four bedrooms are located on the second floor, providing a clear separation of living and sleeping spaces. The main floor features the kitchen, dining room, living room, and a full bath with laundry area, adding practical convenience. A full bath layout upstairs, the bath on the second floor is currently in progress—giving buyers an opportunity to complete it to their taste. The home sits on a level lot with a spacious backyard perfect for relaxing, gardening, or entertaining. A two-car garage connects directly to the home, a practical bonus for Maine winters. Inside, the farmhouse offers the potential to blend classic simplicity with modern updates. While the home is generally sound, it may not qualify for all types of financing due to a few straightforward but needed improvements—such as exterior window trim needing paint, 2nd floor plumbing repair, and other cosmetic fixes. These are excellent opportunities for the handy buyer with vision to restore this home to its former glory. This is a chance to own a meaningful piece of local heritage in a friendly, walkable neighborhood with character and history on every corner. Bring your ideas and a little elbow grease, and make the Stairs Family Homestead your own.
