There’s no reason to fear the icy-cold winters of Maine when you have a sunken hot tub in your basement.

166 Old Webster Road is a three-bed, two-bath home tucked away on a leafy lot in Lewiston, Maine.

Filled with natural woods and boasting extreme privacy, the 2,268-square-foot home welcomes guests on the first floor with a large open kitchen and a living room filled with custom built-in wood details. There are also two bedrooms on the first floor. A sliding glass door leads to a spacious deck overlooking the property’s natural beauty, as well as an in-ground swimming pool.

The finished basement is one of the most intriguing spots in the home. Descend the spiral staircase and you’ll find the ultimate entertaining area, complete with a brick cove that features a sunken hot tub and a bar area. There’s also plenty of extra space above the garage, where you’ll find a two-room office with a big closet.

As for the origin of the home’s more unique features, the house was built in 1986 by a retired architect who crafted the home for himself.

“All those little unique touches were probably personal desires of the architect, ” said Karen Edgcombe of Keller Williams Realty, who represents the listing. “It’s not every day that you see a spiral staircase that goes across three stories, and a lofted masted master suite and sunken hot tub.”
