What an architectural beauty~ French Mansard Home~


Okay, this is my absolute dream house in Bangor Maine. Built in 1876 has 5 BR's ,3½ baths, 4,176 sq ft on .25 acres. The house has 3 stories it's architectural style is French Mansard with ceilings that soar; double living rooms; 2 fireplaces; elegant curved staircase; granite counters; large formal DR.

Now all I need to do is buy a pair of boots, a good warm down comforter, a shovel, and head on up to the beautiful State of Maine. Pack up my hubby and bird and go for the big one. We are seriously thinking of moving to Maine just trying to figure out what part of the state will suite our needs. I don't think you would believe the price if I told you, I was really pleasantly surprised.

OMGosh Patty! Is that your house?

It is a dream! There is a house here in Indiana about 50 miles from here. We pass it on our way home to S.Indiana. I have loved it for years! I have taken pictures from the car window as we pass. It is very much like your house. The roof is the same. It MUST be the same style. It is the only one I have seen in this area. It looks like it doesn't belong.oooh I love it so! I would love to see inside!
You are so lucky to have that wonderful dream home!

What I meant to write was:
I went through this amazing home when I was looking to buy. Long flowing staircase in the front foyer. Absolutely amazing. It's up a bit on a hill. The one across the road from it which is even bigger is for sale too!
