Private, custom-designed modern Cape style home on over 6 acres near the Saco River in Buxton! This home was designed by the original owner/architect to make the most of the secluded, wooded setting. The first floor includes a lovely mudroom with large closet and first floor laundry. The kitchen features an eat-in bar which opens to the open concept great room area with vaulted ceiling. Plenty of room for a dining table and living room set up next to the hearth which features a gas fireplace for chilly Maine winter days. Skylights let in lots of natural light. Off the great room is the first floor bedroom and full bath. These two rooms can be closed off with a pocket door which can be utilized to make a wonderful, private suite for guests or in-laws. Also off the great room through double doors is a huge composite deck. It's a wonderful space to entertain and enjoy the abundant wildlife on the property. Upstairs you'll find the loft style, spacious primary bedroom with walk in closet, another bedroom, and the second full bath. Head downstairs to the walk out basement and there is a finished area currently set up as a bedroom and playroom, a workshop, utility room, and plenty of storage. The home also features a completely new roof including skylights in 2021, and a new propane boiler and composite deck redo in 2019. A pre-listing inspection has been completed and is available upon request. This is a one of a kind, must-see property!
Built by an architect for himself, attention to detail in this craftsman is apparent in every part of the home. Highlights include a raised wraparound deck, tasteful landscaping, raised garden beds, a fire pit, a finished walkout basement, abundant natural light, skylights, open concept living, a high vaulted ceiling, first floor laundry, a fireplace, ample storage throughout, and a sizable workshop. You'll have 2,100 sqft of finished space to enjoy and an additional 400 sqft of utility space.
