Built in 1985, this lovely 2 bedroom, 2 bath Cape exudes an inviting cottage-like appeal. The charming house is nestled away from the road on private 5+ acre lot lined by rock walls and trees. The yard is lush with perennials, apple trees and flowering bushes along with a fern bordered natural drainage pond which welcomes wildlife in the summer and skating in the winter. The inside of the home is equally delightful! A large open kitchen offers a spacious walk-in pantry, an old fashion cook stove, sizeable center island and plenty of room for informal eat-in area. Off the rear of the kitchen is a wonderful screened in porch overlooking the back yard & raised garden beds. Adjacent to the kitchen is the formal dining room which opens to the den and living room. Just off the formal front entrance is a sunken four season sunroom contributing natural light and passive solar warmth while a central woodstove on brick heath distributes heat throughout the first floor living spaces. Upstairs are two spacious bedrooms including a spacious oversized primary w/ walk-in closet, as well as a recently updated bath. The daylight walkout lower level has the potential for additional finished living space and the mudroom attached 2 car oversized garage offers additional storage overhead. Located within a short distance of both Maranacook & Annabessacook Lakes and within a reasonable commute to Augusta or Lewiston/Auburn service centers, this beautiful home truly has it all.
