About this home
Welcome to your very own retreat at 74 College Road, a spectacular and serene setting perched at the edge of Jewell Hill Brook, with views of the Squamscott River and Great Bay. Here, nature truly becomes an extension of your backyard where birdsong and changing seasons become part of everyday living. Set on over three acres, this property offers far more than a home- move right in or embrace an opportunity to create your own private compound (buyers to perform their own due diligence). The land invites imagination, whether your vision includes additional structures, or simply preserving the peaceful, natural surroundings. The main residence is updated with an open-concept layout designed for easy living and entertaining. A welcoming front porch sets the tone, while the true summer highlight is the screened-in porch, where you’ll spend countless hours playing games, gathering with friends, or simply unwinding while immersed in the sights and sounds of nature. A large barn offers ample storage and flexible space for hobbies or future use. Numerous updates have already been completed, allowing for immediate enjoyment with room to personalize over time. This is a rare opportunity to enjoy a tranquil setting at nature’s edge while remaining within the highly sought-after SAU16 school district.
