Thoughtfully renovated from top to bottom, it offers the perfect combination of modern finishes, functional space, and peaceful rural surroundings while still being just minutes from Freeport and within an easy commute to Portland. Granite steps lead you inside to a generous mudroom, the perfect place to drop boots, coats, and gear before stepping into the warm and inviting open concept living space. Natural light fills the kitchen, which features updated cabinetry, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances with excellent flow into the dining and living areas. The single level layout makes everyday living simple and comfortable, with two spacious bedrooms and a full bath.
