Set on a peaceful wooded lot in Gray, this well maintained home offers privacy, recent updates, and comfortable single level living in a beautiful natural setting, all just 5 minutes from I95 for an easy commute to Portland, Lewiston/Auburn, and surrounding areas. Surrounded by mature trees and set back from the road, the property features a welcoming covered porch, detached garage, storage shed, and plenty of outdoor space to enjoy. Whether relaxing by the fire pit, enjoying your morning coffee on the porch, or working in the garage, this property captures the feel of Maine country living while still remaining conveniently located near shopping, restaurants, and everyday amenities. Inside, you'll find an open kitchen, dining, and living area filled with natural light and centered around a cozy wood stove that adds warmth and character to the space. A newer heat pump provides efficient year round comfort, while the practical single level layout makes everyday living simple and functional. The home offers an easy to maintain footprint that could be ideal for buyers looking to downsize without sacrificing privacy, storage, or outdoor space. Numerous improvements have already been completed for the next owner, including new siding and windows in 2024, a new heat pump and wood stove in 2024, newer septic system and leach field installed in 2022, and a new water heater in 2026. The detached garage offers great space for parking, hobbies, storage, or workshop use and is heated with a K1 heater, making it functional year round for projects, recreation, or additional workspace. An additional shed provides even more flexibility for tools, lawn equipment, or seasonal storage. Move in ready and thoughtfully updated, this property offers a rare combination of convenience, privacy, functionality, and classic Maine charm.
