9 Turner Court

Bath, ME 04530

Located in Bath's Historic District, south-facing ''James Getchell House,'' circa 1840, showcases vernacular Federal period architecture with granite lintels and sills. Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac, this beautifully proportioned brick home blends the charm of the old with the comfort of the new. The welcoming foyer opens to a winding pumpkin-pine staircase and cozy, sun-filled living room with a beautifully-framed fireplace. A quiet alcove off the living room leads to a formal dining room with an adjacent butler's pantry. The kitchen is well-lit and nicely proportioned, with a staircase to the second floor. Off the kitchen is a small brick-walled room with pumpkin pine floors, useful as a coat room, pantry, and small office. The primary second-floor bedroom includes a non-working fireplace and full bathroom. The middle room can be used as a study, sitting room, or guest bedroom and includes a closeted washer- dryer. A staircase in the kitchen leads to the second bedroom, and another to the third floor, where a light-filled, airy room overlooks the rooftops of historic Washington Street. It features a sink and north-facing skylights, ideal for an artist's studio, office, bedroom or workout space. An attached, unfinished attic room offers ample storage space with the opportunity for additional finished living space. The porch off the kitchen overlooks a secluded, professionally landscaped terrace and perennial gardens bordered with Korean maple and dogwood trees. The porch is ideal for morning coffee and afternoon tea, the terrace, for outdoor dining. The insulated basement includes a gold-standard Veissman oil furnace and useful, well-lit workbench. This quietly elegant home is located within walking distance to historic Bath, with its charming shops and restaurants, library, and waterfront park. Fifteen minutes to Brunswick, forty minutes to Portland. Less than 1 mile to two boat launches.
