About this home
Waterfront buyers take notice!! This is a beautiful location with lots of sun and awesome sunsets too. Merrymeeting Lake is big and deep and one of the cleanest lakes in the state. It has a public boat ramp so your friends can come with their boats and explore this beautiful area also. The property has a 24 x 24 detached garage, additional storage shed and a state approved septic and the lake frontage has nice sandy bottom and easy entry. Enjoy 2 finished levels of living space with a large slider off the family room to the patio and out to the water. There is a kitchen area in the lower level, 3/4 bath, bedroom and family room with pellet stove. The main level has an open concept kitchen, dining and living room, knotty pine walls, full bath and master bedroom. Loaded with windows ~ you'll never tire of the excellent views of water frontage at its best.
