Dating back to 1820 when Maine became a New England state, the Leland-Locke House has been an impressive historical landmark for over two centuries. This 4 bed home has been lovingly cared for with charming features preserved, including 5 functioning fireplaces, an exquisite lead glass solarium, stately woodwork, and custom built-in cabinets. The oversized lot creates downtown privacy with an in-ground pool, water fountains, perennial gardens, idyllic iron fences, stone walls, and lovely winding walkways. In addition to the breathtaking outdoor gardens, the solarium was added in the early 1900's with lead-glass doors & sidelights imported from England to create a magical indoor oasis. Spacious common rooms including a double parlor, library and dining room connect to the kitchen for easy entertaining. Gas & wood burning fireplaces keep the main level cozy, with the modern convenience of a first floor laundry room and direct access to the barn from the kitchen. On the 2nd level, the primary bedroom has a walk-in closet and private bath with tiled shower. The 3 other bedrooms share a beautiful bath overlooking the back gardens with both a shower & soaking tub. Unfinished rooms on the 3rd level have potential to be incorporated as home offices or family rooms. A well appointed recreation room with pool table and full bar is on the 2nd level of the barn, and the main area below has tremendous work space for various hobbies and additional storage areas. Being offered for only the 2nd time in the last 30 years, this is a truly special home with significant historical ties to the community. It was recently featured in the locally produced movie 'Holly Star,' and the award winning school district includes attendance to Thornton Academy, Saco's public/private high school. Residents of the city also enjoy being just minutes to miles of public beaches, 90 minutes from Boston, 20 minutes from Portland, and in the heart of Maine's ever-growing local business & food scene.
