Looking for a charming, large backyard close to town? This three bedroom, single family home is located close to schools, restaurants, ball fields and offers easy interstate access. When life is crazy the convenience of walking right next door to grab a morning coffee, a sandwich for lunch or a pizza for an easy supper at the Rusty Lantern is a rare luxury. Running late for work? You can gas up right next door and with easy interstate access you could be off to work, a sporting event or to a vacation in no time. With Thomas College just down the road this is even great for a student living off campus. This is such a unique lot and location it is a recommended must see for anyone moving to the Waterville area.
