40 3rd Street

Tucked along a quiet, tree-lined street just a short stroll to Gouldsboro Lake, this is the kind of home that feels like it has been waiting for its next life, someone who appreciates history, craftsmanship, and the gentle magic of a peaceful, lakeside community. As one of the oldest home in Gouldsboro, it carries a presence you can feel the moment you arrive. The large wraparound porch sets the tone immediately: wide, welcoming, and perfect for slow mornings, evening breezes, and the simple pleasure of watching the seasons change across the wooded backdrop. Step inside, and the home opens like a story, rich natural woodwork, lovingly preserved, wraps every room in warmth. Built-ins, Victorian-like details, and handcrafted touches appear at every turn, each one a quiet reminder of the generations who have lived, gathered, and created memories here. The main level offers both charm and practicality. A dedicated office sits just off the main living spaces, ideal for remote work, creative pursuits, or a cozy reading nook. The wide stairwell leads upward with a graceful sweep, revealing a large walk-up attic--a space brimming with potential. Whether finished into an additional bedroom, studio, or retreat, it's a rare opportunity to expand without sacrificing the home's historic soul. Storage is abundant, with both the attic and the basement offering room for organization, hobbies, or seasonal items. Outside, a 2-car detached garage adds convenience, while the wooded backyard creates a natural sanctuary, quiet, shaded, and alive with the sounds of the nearby lake. On clear days, you can even catch a lake view, a gentle shimmer through the trees that reminds you just how close you are to water, wildlife, and the serenity of nature.The setting is nothing short of idyllic; Peaceful and quaint, the kind of place where time slows down and life feels beautifully simple. Meticulously maintained, full of character, and wrapped in history.
