Paradise in the woods! This ready-to-move-in classic cape boasts a charming master bedroom on the first floor, with two additional bedrooms on the second floor for children, grandchildren, or entertaining guests in beautiful downeast Maine. A spacious kitchen with a wood stove and a three-season sun porch round out the coziness of this special home. Out the back door you'll find 61 acres of picturesque woods—complete with a network of connecting trails, making it a paradise for people who enjoy the outdoors year round. Recent updates include new appliances, new roof and gutters, brand new cedar shingles, and an automatic whole house generator. Amenities include an attached two-car garage, and a new insulated and heated workshop added in 2015. Situated less than a five minute drive to historic downtown Ellsworth, one hour to Bangor International Airport, and just forty minutes to beautiful Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park, the location and price of this home cannot be beat.
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.
