Great character in this spacious, sunlit 3 bdrm 1 bath home. oak hardwood floors throughout, three heat pumps, automatic on-demand Generac generator and on-demand water heater. The beautiful galley-style kitchen offers quartz counters, farmers white, drop-down sink, and stainless appliances. Bath and kitchen were updated in 2017. New propane hwbb furnace was installed in 2022. Formal dining area has a built-in curio. The living room has a Jøtul wood-stove insert which was (at some point) expanded to incorporate what was once the front porch creating abundant natural light and space. Side yard porch entry brings you into a mudroom just off of the kitchen. The generously sized Primary bedroom has a heat pump and hardwood floors. The 3rd floor is accessed from the primary bedroom and provides a large bright space for potential office, game room, craft/art room or even separate bedroom. The location of this home is especially pleasing near the end of Silver Road which closely abuts the Bangor Golf course and has little traffic except by neighbors. Stunning views of both sunrises and sunsets, beautiful large paver patio for relaxing and entertaining. If this seems intriguing, the incredibly beautiful, park-like, private and oversized lot (nearly . 5 acre!) will certainly catch your attention. Fully fenced in with various shrubs, trees, and flowing plants make this your own serene retreat. Conveniently located in town in the desirable, quaint ''Fairmont'' neighborhood, with easy access to all amenities the city has to offer.
