117 Needles Eye Road, Lamoine, ME 04605

Understated sophistication defines this custom designed, single owner home sited in the Lamoine village of Marlboro. Built in 2004 by well-respected Pebblebrook Construction, the 1,862 s.f. home resides on a standalone 5 acre parcel, free from HOAs and restrictions. Like the random width pine flooring employed throughout the home, a center chimney Cape design pays homage to 18th century elements, though modern comforts & conveniences are not far off. The heart of the home revolves around its kitchen, with its suite of new stainless appliances, glassed in pantry, red oak counters, feature filled island and armada of cabinetry. Steps from the kitchen is the wonderful conversation space in the living room, encircled by windows. A few steps further and you're cozed up to the living room's wood stove and built-in book wall. Completing the 1st floor is a formal dining room with double glass door china closet, a full bathroom and attached 2 vehicle garage with an unfinished 288 s.f. space above. Heading upstairs, you'll find 3 bedrooms and another full bathroom. The primary bedroom steals the show, with its generous walk-in closet, ample natural lighting and access to the unfinished, above garage space. The full basement is quite dry and provides a tempting amount of storage space. Highlights of the exterior include cedar shingle siding, freshly resurfaced driveway and enough privacy & natural surroundings to satisfy the most Thoreauvian of buyers. A pretty little stream flows not far from the backyard, calling to the new owner to incorporate it into the gardenscape. Specimen plantings are numerous, including a long ago planted giant apple tree. Dependent on a new owner's desires, the grounds could be put on semi-auto pilot, or kicked into high gear for garden tour candidacy. High speed Spectrum internet. Minutes from exquisite Marlboro Beach and little known hiking trails, and of course not far at all from all-star Acadia. A rare find for those who are nimble & prepared.
