Discover this bright and spacious 1,391 sq. ft. ranch-style home, crafted with longevity and energy efficiency in mind. Built with cold-rolled steel framing, the structure is exceptionally strong and durable, offering peace of mind for years to come.
This thoughtfully designed home features 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, including a primary suite with a private bath and a generous walk-in closet. At the heart of the home is an open-concept living space, combining the kitchen, dining, and living room. The kitchen is as functional as it is inviting, with ample countertops and storage, including cupboards, cabinets, and a pantry closet. The sink is perfectly situated to overlook the backyard, adding a touch of charm to daily routines.
Tall ceilings—9 feet in most rooms and up to 12 feet at the center of the great room—create a spacious and airy ambiance. The home is heated and cooled by four Samsung mini splits, ensuring energy-efficient comfort year-round, complemented by low-energy LED lighting throughout. For added warmth, electric baseboard heating is strategically placed.
Outside, the level front yard will soon feature a lush green lawn and shade trees, while the driveway offers ample parking for four or more vehicles.
Located in the border city of Calais, this home places you minutes from the Canadian city of St. Stephen, just across the St. Croix River. Both cities boast a variety of shopping and dining options, with even more cultural and recreational opportunities nearby. Explore Maine's historic parks, tidal waters, and coastal charm, or take a day trip into Maritime Canada. Calais also offers essential services, including a hospital and the Washington County Technical College.
Offered well below its appraised value, this home provides an exceptional opportunity to own a newly built, highly efficient home while inheriting instant equity at the time of purchase.
