This property, which occupies a .55 acre lot directly on the Penobscot River, has many unique features. The sizeable backyard has established flower and vegetable gardens, fruit trees, and berry bushes as well as direct river access. Travel no farther than the backyard to enjoy boating and fishing, and watch the sunset over the river from the back deck or through the many west-facing windows of the house. The indoor living space is distinctive as well. The dwelling has two separate living spaces. On the first floor is a cozy 3-bedroom farmhouse with a large kitchen and a spacious breezeway leading out to the backyard. The first floor of the attached barn contains lots of storage space, a workshop area, and room enough to park a small vehicle. On the second floor of the barn is another living space - a bright, roomy, split-level studio apartment with full bathroom, kitchen, sleeping area, and its own deck overlooking the river - perfect for accommodating extended family, entertaining, or to generate some extra income as a rental. This home in its beautiful, private natural setting is only 15 minutes from I-95 and the University of Maine at Orono, 25 minutes to Bangor, and 0.1 mile from a public boat landing.
