The charming Cape Cod style house, just 2.3 miles from the Orrington town line, boasts numerous improvements. Set back from the road, it features a 2-car garage under, with a 576 sqft addition above comprising three rooms - two ideal for guests, office space or playroom, while the den with a half bath and new wood stove completes the layout. Transitioning to the main house, the kitchen faces east, offering scenic views of the surrounding woods, providing a serene backdrop while preparing meals. The adjacent dining room offers ample space for gatherings and dinners. The living room features a cozy brick fireplace with a new wood stove insert, ensuring warmth throughout the years. A bedroom on this level adds convenience and flexibility, while the adjacent laundry room leads to a deck joining seamlessly to the den, enhancing indoor-outdoor flow and connection to the large side and back yard and woods beyond. Ascending the staircase to the second level, you'll find new berber-style carpeting in two of the three bedrooms, providing comfort underfoot. The third bedroom stands out with elegant hardwood flooring, adding a touch of sophistication to the living space. A full bath completes the second floor. Additional updates include a whole house Generac generator with weekly testing, two dedicated propane tanks, four heat pumps for efficient heating and cooling, and a 240 sqft shed that could serve to store gear or create an artist studio. The partially finished basement features a fireplace and a ¼ bath, offering additional space and versatility. This home offers true country living with peace of mind because of its unique blend of updates and serene surroundings.
