138 Standpipe Rd, Damariscotta, ME 04543

Cute as a button! This well-built circa 1948 Cape is ideal for one-level living! A short 2 miles drive or bike ride to all the conveniences of downtown Damariscotta. The updates & improvements include new thermal-pane windows, blown-in wall insulation & refinished hardwood floors. In addition, the kitchen sports new butcher-block countertops, farm sink, lighting, high-end appliances and an elegant linoleum floor. Open-concept living/dining rooms with a handsome woodstove for both ambiance & warmth for those who prefer heat generated by a wood fire rather than the central heating system. The bathroom is fully-tiled with fun wallpaper, new lighting and sink/vanity. On the enclosed back porch, enjoy a true Maine mudroom with direct-entry to the kitchen; the mudroom is essential storage for beach bags, hiking boots, winter coats and more! Major improvements completed by the previous owner a few years ago include newer architectural roofing shingles, forced-hot air furnace and heating oil tank. The detached 1 car garage has a separate workshop area and ample storage. The walk-out basement is insulated with a concrete floor. This charming home sets back from the quiet road on a generous 5 acres lot with open lawns for gardening and outdoor enjoyment. The thoughtful landscaping includes perennial gardens & stonewalls plus woods just beyond the grassy yard. A wonderful property for those who are down-sizing, just starting out, looking for a summer home or an investment property! Biscay Pond is a 5 minutes drive for swimming, boating & fishing. Enjoy the gorgeous sandy beach at Pemaquid Beach and Damariscotta Lake State Park; both of which are just 15-20 minutes away. Easy access to Route 1 for travel north to Rockland & the Camden Hills or south to Bath/Brunswick & Bowdoin College plus just 1 hour to the Portland Jetport! Schedule a showing today!
