The soul in a house in Maine.

People who own or rent the house give it life and animate the rooms, the yard.

They are in charge of the programming on the refrigerator at this Maine house property address.

Some Maine houses though are far from perfect or trendy and just stand out over time.

Classic and understated but constant like a heart beat.

Why is that, how does that happen in a Maine house?

Getting more than 15 minutes of fame for the people who use the floors, walls, placed under the roof providing a life shelter container.

Someone built the Maine house way back when or completed it just last week.

Besides the style and modifications to the original house plan, the particular building spot and terrain location.

All combined to create each and every new house in Maine.

Do you believe there is soul in a house in Maine?

Now hold up, don’t go all liturgical out in the blogging audience. Not trying to put out a religious fire debate using gasoline.

What is it?

The soul of a Maine house.

Deep sensitive emotion. Anything done with intention and meaning.

Can a house have that kind of energy, power, substance?

Not for someone always running the roads and never muttering “this house is my castle”.

For someone that never uses the original formal dining room for fueling up at meal time.

Well except maybe just when the kids spread out the school project. Waiting until  the night before it is due to hurriedly complete the assignment.

We’re not talking the over used real estate buzz word combination “house has good bones”.

No no, it’s bigger than a tired, sum it up slam bam description for the house buying audience.

Save using a worn thin popular expression  like a text message abbreviation.

You have to know what you are writing about… the history, the experiences this Maine house has endured.

Whether with one original owner all those years. Or maybe several that all pulled the place in similar or very different directions.

I’ve listed and sold many Maine houses where one owner went whole hog in the kitchen overhaul and then stopped.

Every other room and corner of the house did not get some any of the carpentry love.

Or it’s a case of one after another property owners simply had very different visions of the house version they strive to achieve.

As the Maine real estate agent or broker, were you around when the house was built is a question to ask?

Growing up, did you know someone who lived two houses up or one street over behind it? If so, it helps to tell the story and set the stage to do the house justice describing it.

Or often after listing and selling Maine real estate for over forty five years, I remember the former owner(s) and had the privilege of finding a new buyer for the old property owner.

Some Maine houses were kept in one family since construction.

Often very little changed and the original house design and lifestyle remain inside and out. Listed one of those recently.

Watch the real estate video for 63 High Street In Houlton Maine.

Not a case of very little done to the Maine house since it was built. Much of the major house operating systems were carefully updated. But the original doors, floors, work work remain in near perfect condition.

The Maine house not a museum piece but had careful use and limited wear and tear.

Because of careful respectful owners. Partly because of a small family size and ownership of a country lake home cottage that left the Maine in town house parked. Ready but waiting to continue it’s mission in life, comfortable classic housing.

So how to describe the vintage well preserved house for sale in Maine without the same broad brush color strokes?

It’s hard to know best until you sit on the glassed in front porch and ponder.

Or slide into a leather chair by the fireplace to gain inspiration and absorb the Maine house. Checking out the patterned hardwood floors, window seats, sliding french doors.

To feel a pulse, sense a soul in the Maine house and begin to try and do the place justice.

Unfortunately, many of Maine’s older housing stock is neglected to the point of no return.

Torn down for the lot improvements and replaced with a manufactured not stick built residence.

Finished in a sea of gray colors, miles of VPF (vinyl plank flooring) the same cold boring colors.

That in a few years will date the Maine house.

The old colors, fabric textures from the insulated drapes not plastic mini blinds in an original Maine home with soul.

Maybe you are on the real estate search hunt for a house neglected. But presenting a challenge for your tender loving care skill set.

Talk about affordable housing in Maine.

Avoid the expensive coastal tourist traps and dig deep into rural Maine real estate housing inventory.

Here’s an old Maine home to consider for $59,900 to tour!

Who to call to help renovate if you are not a Bob Vila?

Or if you need a little professional guidance on areas that feel foreign?

I am a local Maine native and well versed on who to call in for the renovation repairs.

Living here and knowing my way around the local Maine landscape helps guide the process.

To save money, where to get the materials needed to transform the place into something modern.

Or put it back together preserving the tin ceiling/wall kitchen, hardwood floors and trim baked into the original small town Maine house.
