Looking for a picture perfect in a quaint, storybook setting? Then check out this two bedroom, one and a half bath home in Poland, ME. This home has been lovingly restored and in recent years expanded with a level of quality, construction, and craftsmanship seldom found today. This adorable home is situated inside the Empire Grove Camp Meeting Association, which harkens back to simpler times. Entering Empire Grove is like driving back in history when communitees and small towns were built around the town gazebo. At one time Empire Grove was a Methodist Colony, and today it is a non-demoninational, collective community. This home sits on a nicely landscaped lot with a large, two story barn in the backyard. Both the lot the house sits on and all the surrounding acreage is community owned property by the Empire Grove association, which results in a relatively low cost of ownership. Annual dues to the association even include lawn and yard maintenance. The location in Poland is just over the Auburn, ME line, and about 45 minutes from Portland, ME, making this a great location for anyone commuting to those cities. The layout of this home, with a first floor bedroom and full bath, also offers the opportunity for comfortable, single level living. Properties in the Empire Grove rarely come on the open market, and even more rarely in as exceptional condition as this one. Don't miss this chance to own your storybook home in Maine! This is truly an opportunity to experience Maine, the way your life could be!
