Nicely sited back from the road on a pretty knoll with sweeping views of fields and woods. Sweet Cape style home has never been offered for sale before. Mature shade trees and perennial gardens (soon in bloom!) feel like country yet only a mile from the local Hannaford, Saco River and 20 minutes to the Maine Turnpike. Built ruggedly, as they did back then, this house has been lovingly maintained and the systems all updated. Entrance through a bright, sunny 3-season porch which doubles as a greenhouse. Front-to-back kitchen with open work space, antique wood cook stove, dining area with new bay window overlooking nature. Spacious front living room has gleaming, real hardwood floors, fireplace and wood stove. Full bath and first floor bedroom that opens onto a second 3-season porch that gazes over rolling meadows where deer are often grazing. Up a pretty staircase are two more large dormered bedrooms and a full bath. Rooms with carpet have hardwood underneath. Bring your decorating tastes to make this your own home! Detached two-car garage has new overhead door and attached storage shed for yard equipment, potting shed (Snells and Frugal Farmer are just up the road) or raising chickens. This great property can be your mini farm in the country yet easily commutable to many destinations!
