Located at 297 Sandy Beach Road in Danforth, Maine, this property presents a prime opportunity for those eager to unleash their inner handyman or woman. Situated on a 1.15-acre surveyed lot, this 4-season recreational property awaits your personal vision and effort. The home features a 2-bedroom septic system, a drilled well, and benefits from year-round access and utility power.
The cottage is ripe for transformation with some TLC—it needs a fresh coat of paint outside and new flooring inside. Fortunately, materials for the flooring and components for a bathroom makeover are already on-site. Recent updates include a new roof in 2016, updated interior lighting fixtures, new double-pane windows, and a new exterior storm door. With a bit of sweat equity, this sturdy cottage can be turned into a year-round recreational oasis.
The expansive 1.15-acre lot offers ample space for adding a garage and other storage buildings. Natural granite boulders on the property could be repurposed into stunning retaining walls, enhancing the outdoor space into a true oasis.
Inside, there's over 1027 square feet of living space, complemented by a spacious outdoor deck boasting views of East Grand Lake. While the property includes 20 feet of shared lake access, note that it does not have owned lake frontage. The home features a full kitchen, dining room, family room, a first-floor primary bedroom, and a bathroom. Upstairs, a large open area accommodates five double beds—ideal for hosting friends and family eager to explore the recreational opportunities of the East Grand Lake area.
East Grand Lake, Maine's 8th largest lake, is renowned for its excellent fishery and pristine water quality across its vast 16,000-acre expanse. Whether you're angling for salmon, lake trout, or smallmouth bass, or simply cruising along the shoreline, East Grand Lake offers abundant opportunities for recreation.
