Absolutely enchanting! This affordable home presents an incredible opportunity to claim 1.8 acres in Bowdoinham as your own. The property features a serene, tree-lined U-shaped driveway that enhances the peaceful ambiance, while the spacious backyard could be ideal for hosting gatherings. Upon entering, you'll find an inviting open-concept design that seamlessly connects a cozy dining area and a living room complete with a wood-burning stove. For extra warmth, a propane Rinnai heater is also available. The kitchen comes equipped with a gas stove, dishwasher, and refrigerator. The main floor is rounded out with a full bathroom showcasing a classic clawfoot tub and convenient laundry hookups.
