An inviting opportunity to move in and make it your own, this sweet 1920 New Englander sits on a quiet side street in the heart of Bridgton village. With refinished original wood floors, three bedrooms, and a number of recent improvements, this property provides a comfortable starting point for those who appreciate older homes and are ready to continue the work of updating it over time. The first floor offers a separate mudroom entry, informal dining/family room, and a living room, both featuring hardwood floors. A flexible, first-floor bedroom most recently served as a home office, benefiting from fast gigabit internet service and easily supporting remote work. The kitchen and full bathroom are fully functional, but with finishes dating from the 1980s they await future renovation and personalization. Upstairs, there are two additional bedrooms including a primary with an early-era walk-in closet and eave storage, plus a convenient hallway linen closet. Original details, such as colorful stained glass at the front door and a handsomely crafted wood handrail with decorative wrought-iron brackets at the stairs, add character. Outside, enjoy an open, sunny backyard with raised garden beds, established flowering shrubs, and charming stone walls. The one-car garage needs work, but its grandfathered status allows for repair, rebuilding, or potential expansion, subject to applicable requirements. The house also offers a low-maintenance metal roof. Enjoy the best of Bridgton's lake region lifestyle, with Pleasant Mountain about 11 minutes away, and public beaches and boating access on Long and Highland Lakes even closer. Whether your interests lean towards skiing, snowboarding, swimming, boating, hiking, gardening, listening to the "Music on Main" free summer concert series, or simply being part of a vibrant, small-town community, 16 Meadow Street is a practical and accessible home base from which to enjoy it all.
