Some homes are built for neighborhoods. This one was built for freedom. Set on 7.93 acres in Orrington, this 2 to 3 bedroom, 2 full bath Cape offers 2,162 square feet of living space and room for the lifestyle you have always imagined. Step inside to cathedral ceilings, an open and inviting layout, and a brand new kitchen complete with new appliances. The flexible floor plan provides space for an additional bedroom, home office, guest room, or whatever fits your needs. Outside is where this property truly separates itself. A 2 bay garage includes additional space above, while the separate warehouse offers incredible possibilities for a workshop, equipment storage, or the ultimate mechanic's setup. Two additional outbuildings provide even more room for your tools, toys, and outdoor gear. The property also features a peaceful stream with its own bridge, creating a setting that feels private, adventurous, and uniquely Maine. Whether you have dreamed of owning horses, creating a small homestead, watching wildlife from your backyard, or simply having room to spread out, nearly 8 acres gives you the freedom to imagine the possibilities. Swetts Pond is directly across the street, with the boat launch within walking distance. Bring the boat, kayaks, ATVs, snowmobiles, project cars, and everything else that makes life an adventure. Located in Orrington, you can enjoy a quiet country setting while remaining within easy reach of Brewer and Bangor. Orrington also offers Center Drive School for younger students and high school choice options through its secondary tuition program. This is more than a house. It is your home, your workshop, your playground, and your next adventure. A property with this much space, flexibility, and recreational access will not stay quiet for long.
