About this home

Located 10 minutes from Belfast, and a short drive to the restaurants, art galleries and shops in the quaint seaside town of Searsport, this cozy 2 bedroom, 1 bath shingle style cottage is perfectly suited for either a starter home or seasonal get away. Situated on a spacious 2.5 acre lot bordered by mature woods and a creek, this lovingly maintained home features many recent updates. Heating and cooling is provided by a heat pump while a wood stove in the living room creates a perfect place to relax in the winter. Additional updates include an energy efficient heat pump water heater and water softener. The Kitchen features a new reverse osmosis water filter system and stainless steel range hood. A mud room adjacent to the Kitchen features a new, full sized LG stacked washer and dryer. New paint throughout and new flooring in the Living Room and Kitchen complete the move-in ready package. The property also features a fully insulated and conditioned detached garage with single stall parking and a separate space that's perfect for either a workshop or home office. The yard features raised vegetable and flower garden beds and a separate fabric 14' x 32' arched carport providing a generous sheltered space for additional vehicles as well as a fabric 8' x 8' shed.

The seaside town of Searsport, Maine has some of the most adorable bungalows with efficient use of space. This cozy 2 bedroom 1 bath home has been thoughtfully updated to create a warm and inviting atmosphere where friends can gather in the living room around the wood-stove and chat with those who are making dinner in the kitchen. An ideal starter home or downsizing from something larger, the 2.5 acre lot provides ample space for those hope to grow veggies or flowers, or have a low maintenance plot of land close to the ocean. The detached garage is an ideal workshop space - with a heat pump heating and cooling the space it's an ideal place for guests, home office, or with Searsport approval a home business. The soaking bathtub is a relaxing escape where you can soak with locally grown eucalyptus, and then cozy up by the new wood-stove with good book. If renovation is on your mind, the new roof structure allows for the walls to be reconfigured (or even all removed!) for a larger open space. New systems installed for heat and hot water make it a great turn-key option for someone ready to move ASAP. A short 4 minute drive puts you in the center of Searsport Village where you will find all the amenities: Local Grocer, Post Office, Bank, Bakery, Candy Store, and a sea-side park with playgrounds and beach access. Turn left from the driveway and you'll be within downtown Belfast in less than 10 minutes.
