Looking for the perfect rural location? Want to Awaken the FARMER in you? This oversized 3 bedroom 1.5 bath ranch on 4+/- acres in Prentiss offers 1844+/- square feet of living space on one floor. Completely remodeled in 2012, this home has hardwood floors throughout with an open kitchen/dining room area and a double-sized living room with beautiful built-in cabinetry on one end for displaying your collectibles or family photos! With 2 bedrooms and a full bath on one end of the central living area and the combination laundry room/half bath and master bedroom on the other, privacy isn't an issue. The mud room/office area is conveniently located just inside the home from the enclosed breezeway that connects the home to the oversized 2-car garage. This home has so much storage you won't believe it! You can even store your Big Boy toys in the basement since it has a double door walk (drive) in entrance! The garage has cabinetry galore as well as a workbench and room for 2 full sized vehicles. The lot corners on both Averill Road and Tar Ridge Road and has a paved drive. The lawn is mostly flat with a slight down slope in the back. There are several apple trees as well as a rhubarb patch and a nice location for a huge garden. Prentiss has some of the best soils in Penobscot County for growing vegetation as evidenced by the nearby corn and potato farms. Come take a look at just how much home you can purchase in Prentiss for what you'd pay twice the price in the city for half the house. It's a great country lifestyle home with plenty of room for you and your needs. Heat is both an oil-fired forced hot air furnace and a propane wall heater that doesn't need electricity for when the power goes out. There is both a private well and a private septic. There is also high speed internet available here through Consolidated Communications. Additional land is available should you need more to fulfill your 'farmer's dream'.
