This 1895 country Queen Anne Victorian in West Concord has a lot of its original charm, but has been updated with an expanded kitchen, master bedroom suite and bedroom/office addition.
The four-bedroom house at 1394 Main St. sits on a 16,000-square-foot lot that includes a large backyard and a two-car garage that opens onto a side street. One of the current owners, an interior designer, has restored the home to its Victorian glory while adding a high-end kitchen in a 1998 bumpout addition, turning the master bedroom into a suite and expanding another bedroom with a home office addition in 2004. The house, with new windows and an updated furnace, is on the market for $925,000.
The homes exterior is white clapboard and aluminum with black shutters and an octagonal turret with diagonally set windows. A flagstone walk flanked by hedges leads up to a large covered front porch.
The front door opens into a foyer with restored oak floors. To the right of the foyer is a sitting room with crown molding. To the left is a large Victorian living room with five windows, including a three-bay bumpout addition, crown molding and restored oak floors as well as a brick woodburning fireplace with a white wood mantel.
The expanded kitchen off this room features white cabinets, including a large pantry, and two cabinets with leaded-glass fronts and brown granite countertops. Theres a wood-topped peninsula, a beautiful tin ceiling with recessed lighting and white beadboard backsplashes. High-end stainless steel appliances include a Jenn-Air electric burner/oven, refrigerator and dishwasher as well as a second oven, an Electrolux. Theres a large eat-in area in a bumpout addition with a chandelier.
Off the kitchen is a wallpapered half-bath redone in 1998 with a white marble floor, beadboard walls and an antique vanity topped with black granite.
On the far right end of the kitchen sits a formal Victorian dining room with a glass chandelier hanging from a plaster medallion and chair rail wainscoting.
At the other end of the kitchen, a mud room leads out to a rear porch and a large backyard. At the end of the yard sits the garage and a driveway that holds three more vehicles.
Back inside, the houses four bedrooms are on the second floor, up a carpeted staircase with a stained-glass window on the landing.
The redone master bedroom suite retains its original wide-pine floors. An en-suite bathroom, added in 2004, has a green granite vanity with double sinks and a glass-enclosed steam shower with white subway tile walls and a green granite bench. There are also two walk-in closets, and right outside the bedroom are original built-in linen closets.

Victorian features tasteful updates
Jan. 11, 1989
About 60 Gorham residents showed up at the Planning Board meeting Monday to take their first look at plans for a new Shop n Save at the old raceway property. It was the first chance people had to see the plan for a plaza with almost 200,000 square feet of floor space. The overwhelming concern of residents was the effect on traffic in the Cressey Road and Narragansett Street area.
The state Board of Education is scheduled to vote today to approve the state portion $1,086,480 of a proposed $1.8 million package of additions and renovations to the Saccarappa School in Westbrook. And in May, if the Westbrook School Committee and City Council approve, Westbrook voters will be asked to chip in another $800,000 to cover the citys share. School Superintendent Edward Connolly said Monday he expects to get the state concept approval today.
Mayor Philip Spiller showed Westbrooks Warren parsonage Sunday to Marie Rackley, and he she is seriously considering moving it in three pieces to land off the Methodist Road. He said he believes her plans are workable, and can be the hoped-for way to avoid tearing down the historic house. The City Council voted Monday to set Jan. 23 for a public hearing on the disposition or demolition of the parsonage.
The bid by retired Secretary of State and former Gorham resident Rodney Quinn to get the Gorham Town Council to pay into the Maine State Retirement System for his council service was defeated by a 3-3 tie at a Jan. 3 meeting. Quinn hoped to convince councilors to pay $100.56 for one year of his six years on the Gorham Town Council, which would enable him to buy back four years of military service and increase his annual pension by $3,000. Quinn said he would reimburse the town for that sum, as well as pay annual subsequent payments of $3 or $4. Some councilors felt that council service should not be considered employment, similar to full-time paid employees.
Charleyne Gilbert, a Westbrook High School business teacher for the past 10 years, was selected as the 1988-89 Maine Business Educator of the Year. The award was granted at the annual convention of the Business Education Association of Maine.
Gorham Fire Chief Robert Lefebvre said Monday that an electrical short circuit in the ceiling of a second-story apartment caused the three-alarm fire at 48 Main St. Friday that left 14 people homeless. No one was injured in the blaze, but Lefebvre estimated damage at $150,000 or more.
Jan. 13, 1999
A draft of a proposed new policy detailing when Westbrook will sell property it holds a tax lien against was presented to the City Councils Finance Committee Monday, and a further draft by administrative assistant Jim Bennett will likely be presented to the council for enactment. Matured tax liens give the city a clear title and the right to sell and keep all the proceeds, Bennett said. The city is scheduled to foreclose Jan. 14 on 85 pieces of property owning a total of $71,000 for unpaid 1997 taxes, plus interest.
Assistant School Superintendent Michael Kane presented to the Westbrook City Councils Committee of the Whole Monday the case for expanding Canal School. The plans go before the state Board of Education today to see if it will agree to state funding for a share of the $2.68 million project. The school department will go to the state with the council committees blessing, given in a 4-2 vote. The Canal School Building Committee and architect Stephen Blatt had first proposed at $3.26 million expansion of the grade 3-5 school, with a separate Grade 3 wing, but the committee felt that this would be too great a burden on the taxpayers.

Looking Back
Jerry Lai-USA TODAY Sports
With the return of the No. 3 and two new drivers in the fold, this offseason has been anything but mundane for Richard Childress Racing.
If there was a word to describe Richard Childress Racing's offseason it would be "change." This offseason has been one of dramatic turnover for the organization, with two high-profile additions and the loss of two mainstays in drivers Kevin Harvick and Jeff Burton. Although all of the changes may not initially have the desired effect, RCR should be better positioned long-term to finally win its seventh NASCAR Cup championship.
As of late, the typical season for RCR involves Harvick excelling while Burton and Paul Menard languish in mediocrity. That was the case again in 2013. Harvick won four times and finished third in points--the third time he's done so in the last four years--while Menard and Burton each went winless and placed 17th and 20th, respectively.
Austin Dillon (No. 3 Dow Chemical/Cheerios Chevrolet); Paul Menard (No. 27 Menards Chevrolet); Ryan Newman (No. 31 Caterpillar Chevrolet)
A relationship that ebbed and flowed between elation and frustration is officially over after 13 seasons. Harvick has moved over to Stewart-Haas Racing, while Richard Childress has appointed his grandson, Austin Dillon, as Harvick's replacement. Dillon will drive the rebranded No. 3 car, which makes its return to Cup competition 13 years following the death of Dale Earnhardt in a last-lap crash at Daytona.
The organization also says goodbye to Jeff Burton. The veteran, who brought leadership and stability to RCR when he joined in mid-2004, will be missed, but the reality is he hadn't won a race in five years and the team needed more production. His seat in the No. 31 car will be filled by Ryan Newman, who has victories in five of the last six seasons along with a trio of Chase berths.
The restitution of the No. 3 comes with much scrutiny, and will put Dillon under the microscope. But the glare of the spotlight and the pressure of having the iconic number on the side of his car is something the 23-year-old is accustomed to, having used No. 3 in both Nationwide and Truck Series competition.
Often lost in the hubbub of seeing the No. 3 back on the track is that the man driving the car is a Sprint Cup rookie. As is typical for rookies, Dillon will have his share of ups and downs in 2014, with likely more lows than highs. Significantly helping matters, however, is the group his grandfather has surrounded him with. The core of the former No. 29 team remains intact, led by crew chief Gil Martin.
Martin has proved to be one of the more underrated pit bosses in the garage. In the past four seasons he has led Harvick to 12 victories and three third-place points finishes, and his calm demeanor should pair well with a driver who at times can get excitable behind the wheel.

A garage addition plan starts with making initial sketches of the garage addition concept and evaluating how it will tie in with the existing home structure.
Though most homeowners prefer a large garage, it is very important during this phase to consider proportions between the existing home and the new garage addition.
To aesthetically look appealing from the road the garage addition length should not exceed two-thirds the length of the existing home. Otherwise the garage addition could overwhelm the existing home structure. The depth or width of the garage addition is less critical from an aesthetic standpoint, as it is usually less visible from the road.
Once the initial sketches have been completed, detailed garage addition building plans should be generated. Depending on the complexity of the garage addition either the homeowner or an architect can develop the actual garage addition building plans. In either case, the plans will need to include scaled drawings with dimensions, and cross-sectional construction views with constructional materials specified.
The cross-sectional views should include from the concrete footings all the way to the peak of the roof. Each new transition from the footings up should be carefully drawn.

Garage Addition Building Plan | Building Garage Addition ...
The property, a former machine shop, would be renovated for the new use that Childs said aims to be welcoming, warm, and family friendly.
Were all about best in class and providing an amenity, Childs said.
With 30-foot high ceilings and an open dining room, the restaurant would hold close to 250 seats, in addition to an outdoor patio space, Childs said. The project also includes the addition of a 20 car parking lot.
Childs said the eatery aims to provide farm to table cuisine thats affordable.
The restaurant would be approximately 7,000 square feet, with 3,900 square feet dedicated to the main commissary/kitchen.
The indoor space is also expected to incorporate two food trucks, which would supplement the main menu and provide space for cooking competitions and other events.
The roof of the restaurant would hold a rooftop garden, with the vegetables from the garden being used in the restaurant's dishes.
During the day the restaurant would have a more caf feel to it, with coffee drinks, prepared meals, and small, less intensive lunchtime dishes.
During the evening the space would be converted into a more traditional restaurant, with table service and full menu. The cuisine is expected to be American comfort food.
The hours of the restaurant have not been determined, but Childs hes interested in a 2 a.m. closing.
It was quite unnerving that almost within a few hours of the service light popping up on the dashboard, I received a call from the call centre at my local garage.
Have they really fitted a hidden camera in my headrest to watch my mileage, or are they simply brilliant with their marketing and record keeping? Either way, the call was timely.
Our records show that your car may be due a service; have you had it done elsewhere already?the pleasant but slightly robotic voice enquired. It immediately struck me as a very odd way to ask.
First of all using such a closed question was bound to gain a yes or no response and the nature of the question implied that it was common for the garage to lose customers to competitorscould it be they offer a better service, or are cheaper?
Your timing is perfect I repliedand gladly agreed to go through the booking procedure.
Once the initial data capture was obtained, Tracy, the voice, explained several additions to the service cost.We recommend an air conditioning service every two years and we are doing them on a special offer price of 79 would you like us to do that for you?
Frankly my air conditioning seemed to be working fine and in the absence of any real customer benefits; I declined. In any event, how do I know 79 is a Special price, I had nothing to compare it to.No problemshe replied (well that was easy to avoid, I thought). My only real query was about how long the service would take, as I had a prior appointment in the afternoon of the booking day. I was told it would take about two hours and I was to drop my car off with all the necessary bits at 8:30. Great Job done at the agreed price of 187 fully inclusive of parts labour and VAT.
When I arrived for the service, the garage staff seemed to be efficient and courteous; and all of the paperwork was ready. They eagerly took my keys and best contact number in case they found anything they needed to report. I decided not to wait on site, because Costa make a better cup of coffee have free Wi-Fi and, were directly opposite the garage. So that was where I went to kill a couple of hours making calls before my meeting.
It was when I settled down with my second cappuccino that I noticed that my car was still in the same car parking space as I had left it. It was now 10:00 am. Still, not to worry, my meeting was at 2:30 and I had plenty to do. The next time I looked up the car was not there. Time passed and no calls from the garage, but I was feeling that I had outstayed my welcome in the coffee shop, so I wandered back to the garage; surely it would be ready by now as it was after 11:30 am.
Barry, the senior service advisor (according to his badge) looked at me rather blankly when I stood in front of him. He vaguely recognised me, but had clearly forgotten that he checked my car in only a matter of hours ago.

3 Steps to Making Your Customers Feel Like They Are a Priority
Jessica Guyant believes giving and receiving are universal threads in life; she is, in fact, very familiar with thread, running her own second-hand thrift shop in Summit County.
The Gold Mine Thrift store in Dillon is expanding to include more antiques and furniture inventory. Guyant said she loves visiting estate and garage sales to pick out pieces for her store.
Im very passionate about recycling and reusing, she said. I see things in the trash and think, Why would someone throw that away? In todays economy, you have to be more thoughtful.
When she started the thrift business a year ago, Guyant worked with her brother, who specialized in buying and selling gold and silver. Once he returned to the Midwest, however, Guyant who wasnt comfortable buying gold wanted to focus on expanding from clothing items. Now, shes opening a separate warehouse next to her current location to focus specifically on furniture bed frames, couches, dressers and more.
Guyant said while there are plenty of other great thrift stores in Summit County, her business goes one step further because she not only accepts donations, but buys much of her own merchandise.
Were not a traditional thrift store, she said. I am very picky I hand-pick a lot of fun, nice things.
Originally from Hawaii, Guyant used to serve as a boat captain in the Coast Guard. She said the community in her home state prepared her for business in the High Country shopping was expensive, and a lot of the population was transient.
My philosophy is really that someone elses junk is someone elses treasure, she said.
Among the most popular items, the ones that fly off the shelves, Guyant said, are old wooden skis and snowshoes antique, collectible items people tend to gravitate toward.
Theres a super strong, faithful crowd of locals that comes in, and a lot of visitors who maybe dont ski, and so theyre shopping while their friends or family ski, she said.

Gold Mine Thrift store expands to more antiques, furniture in Dillon
Historic charm -- that's the first thought that comes to mind when describing downtown Stillwater along the banks of the St. Croix River. With a closer look, it's clear the river town's tradition mixes well with contemporary finds for anyone spending an afternoon here.
Stillwater not only boasts some of the best antique hunting in the metro, it also is home to trendy apparel and gift stores dotted mostly along Main Street.
With more than 40 stores to choose from, it's best to decide what type of shopping you're in the mood for first. Fine jewelers, antique malls, boutiques as well as home and gift stores abound.
There are plenty of places to dine, as well.

Several places offer apparel. Highlights include Mainstream Boutique, which moved into larger digs in the Brick Alley Building earlier this year. The women's apparel shop with several Twin Cities locations offers a mix of sophisticated clothing and accessories at mid-range prices. In the same building, style mavens will find Betty June's, which recently moved out of its New Richmond, Wis., digs to its current downtown spot. It's worth a stop for the variety of tasteful jewelry, bags and gift items. Note that the front of the store now houses Trade Winds Spice Company, which in the past year moved from a nearby spot.
Continue north to the St. Croix River Exchange Building, where a few more shops await. The designer-inspired Lori's New York Fashions offers a more affordable, fast-fashion version of handbags, jewelry and other accessories seen on runways. The shop is big on pre-packaged matching necklace and earring sets, which makes piecing your outfit together that much easier.

In the same building, Jade's Addiction apparel for women and men emphasizes pieces that are upcycled, recycled or produced by local artists. New clothing and accessories are in one room, while consignment items are in another. A few doors down, bargain-hunters should stop at Bronze, which prides itself on the fact that every item in the store costs less than $10. The shop also offers beachwear, but the best steal is the pretty handmade jewelry from India.
Outdoor enthusiasts looking for style won't want to miss 45 Degrees for its quality active wear as well as coveted brands such as Prana clothing and Uggs footwear.

Day trip: Stillwater, where old-fashioned meets contemporary
New year, same challenges; how do you make your garden better? Start with some simple winter tasks (including a few for indoors):
Get a calendar or start a journal. If you dont already do it, start keeping track of your garden activity and observations, especially any additions (you will plant something in 2014) or subtractions (tree removal, dead shrubs, summer annuals, etc.) plus seasonal chores such as pruning and spraying. This will help in future planning and decision making. The squares on a large new 2014 calendar are enough space for many garden notes. Hang the calendar in a handy spot (such as a shed or garage door) where youre sure to see it often. You also can post reminders (feed the lawn, spray the fruit trees, etc.). A journal (which can be digital) allows for photos and more notes.
Need a calendar? Local master gardeners offer great calendars/garden guides with loads of useful tips. Look for them at area nurseries or contact your local UC Cooperative Extension office.
Let yourself dream. Allow time to browse garden catalogs (in print or online) for seeds and supplies. For a Burpee catalog, go to http://www.burpee.com and follow the request a catalog link. Or call 800-888-1447.
Prune, prune, prune! This is rose-pruning season. Trim back bushes. Need advice? Attend a local rose society event (see Garden Activities or Garden Calendar).
Clean up leaves and debris around fruit trees and rose bushes to prevent the spread of disease.
Apply oil to fruit trees soon after a rain to control scale, mites and aphids. Oils need 24 hours of dry weather after application to be effective. Dont apply on foggy days.
Spray a copper-based oil on peach and nectarine trees to fight leaf curl.
In the vegetable garden, plant fava beans, head lettuce, mustard, onion sets, radicchio and radishes.
Plant bare-root asparagus and root divisions of rhubarb.
