About this home
NESTLED IN THE SOUGHT-AFTER TOWN OF ELIOT, MAINE, this classic 1957 single-level Ranch has lots of potential and is less than 3-miles from public access to the Piscataqua River. While the home exudes some original details that add a sense of nostalgia, it’s ready for modern updates, or a complete renovation that could embrace its mid-century charm. The home has never been offered for sale and the original owners have maintained it over the decades of ownership with updates including a new heating system in 2014, a new roof in 2009, new gas fireplace insert in 2020, some windows replaced in 2015, and new Artesian well in 2021. Offering 3 bedrooms and 1,200 sq. ft. of living space, the home sits on an expansive 1.64-acre lot, providing a tranquil retreat with nature and views of an abutting pond. The lot features a large, open grassy area, ideal for gardening, outdoor play, or simply enjoying the serene surroundings. The detached 2-car garage has space for vehicles, tools, or hobby storage plus a shed that could serve as a workshop or studio. This peaceful property is ideal for those seeking a quiet, rural lifestyle while still being close to local amenities & the picturesque Maine coastline. Local shops, town offices and schools are all nearby. Only 65-miles to Boston Logan; 6-miles to Portsmouth Naval Shipyard & only 7-miles to either Portsmouth or Dover, NH. Don’t miss this opportunity to own a home with great bones & endless potential in one of Eliot’s most desirable areas!
