Located in the heart of Bath, just off historic Washington Street and a quarter mile from downtown, Waterfront Park, Kennebec Marina and public boat access, The Frank W. Weeks Estate, c. 1830s, is a Federal-style home complemented by Greek Revival influences, where the east-facing screened-in porch serves as a central gathering space, offering peaceful morning coffee and evenings spent unwinding in the fresh air overlooking the backyard. Enter through the front doorway, framed by Doric-style pilasters and a transom light, into a formal entry. Enjoy effortless entertaining in the efficient eat-in kitchen, complete with a bay window overlooking the gardens. Host friends and loved ones in the formal dining room with classic wainscoting, a built-in china cabinet that adds charm and functionality and a period hearth with a multi-component design. Retire to the living room for stimulating conversation or unwind with a good book. The first floor is complete with a half bath, a butler's pantry, and a charming bump-out ideal for a reading nook or home office.
