About this home

OPEN HOUSE, SUNDAY, 10/25 NOON-1:30 PM - With approximately 127 feet of waterfront on Loon Pond, this home's grandfathered setting brings you close to the water. Renovate over time and create something to pass down. At 278 E Shore Drive, the attached living area offers a practical starting point for that vision. With its own entrance, kitchen, living room, three bedrooms, and two full baths, this portion requires fewer renovations than the original home. After completing the work needed for occupancy, buyers could use this space while renovating the original portion in phases. The original home presents the larger project, with a distinctive stone fireplace and room to shape gathering spaces around the waterfront setting. Bring your contractor, assess the work, and plan improvements around your needs and budget. The connected layout offers possibilities for hosting guests, sharing time across generations, or exploring rental use, subject to applicable approvals. For buyers willing to invest in the renovation, this is an opportunity to build long-term value and create a waterfront home to enjoy and eventually pass along. Located in Acton near the New Hampshire border, the property puts Southern Maine lake life within reach of Portsmouth, Portland, and the mountains. A one-car garage adds useful storage for the projects and seasons ahead. Come walk the entire home, experience its relationship to the water, and consider what you would make of it. Conceptual renderings in the photos and video illustrate one possible vision and are provided for visualization only.
