Welcome to 37 Hillcrest Street, a meticulously kept classic New England home with 3-4 bedrooms, 1.5 baths and about 1,700 sq ft, set in a walkable Auburn neighborhood just minutes from downtown. The pride of ownership shows the moment you step into the foyer: rich natural woodwork, gleaming hardwood floors, paneled doors and a beautiful turned staircase lit by diamond-pane windows. Glass French doors connect a gracious living room and a sun-filled piano room with a bay window, perfect for entertaining or quiet evenings at home. The dining room has its own charm, centered on a gas stove set on a classic brick hearth for cozy Maine winters. The kitchen has been beautifully updated with soft gray shaker cabinetry, white counters, subway tile, stainless appliances, a gas range and under-cabinet lighting, with an updated half bath just off the back hall. Upstairs are three bedrooms plus a flexible family room that works well as a fourth bedroom, den or guest space, all served by a stunning renovated full bath with a glass-enclosed subway tile shower, rain showerhead and marble-topped vanity. Attic storage adds room to grow. Newer boiler and hybrid hotwater heater will keep your heating costs down. Generator hook-up in place for peace of mind. Outside, a covered front porch, heated steps off back deck and established shrubs and a sweeping lawn frame the home, with views across the city that shine through Maine's changing seasons. Lovingly cared for and ready for its next chapter, this one is a must-see.
