In a market where finding the right home can feel like searching for a golden ticket, this just might be the one. Perched up on a hill just off River Road and only a stone's throw from the Orrington town line, this home offers an elevated setting. Come summer, a beautiful row of mature lilacs blooms along the front of the property, creating a natural buffer from the road.
Inside, much of the work has already been done. The home features new kitchen cabinets and countertops, along with new flooring throughout most of the home, giving it a fresh, comfortable feel that's ready to move right in. One of my favorite features is the previously attached shed that's been converted into additional finished living space — perfect for a first-floor bedroom, home office, or playroom, depending on what you need.
The home is heated with efficient heat pumps, keeping things warm in the winter and cool in the summer. There's also additional shed space on the property for storage or projects, with room to add your own finishing touches. The septic system will be escrowed at the time of sale, offering peace of mind as you move forward.
Location really seals the deal here. You're just minutes from Bucksport, enjoy many restaurants movie theater, and shopping, or just minutes from bigger city shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences, close to everything, yet tucked up and away.
In today's market, homes like this don't come around often. If you've been waiting for something that feels like a smart move and a solid opportunity, this one might be for you.
