Inside, the main living spaces are comfortable and inviting, with a propane fireplace insert providing a cozy focal point. Heat pumps and three mini-splits provide efficient heating and cooling options throughout the home. The layout is well suited to everyday living, with three bedrooms, two and a half baths, and the convenience of primarily single-level living. Front and rear porches extend the living space outdoors and provide peaceful spots to enjoy the surrounding landscape. A two-car garage provides excellent storage and workspace, while the full basement gives additional flexibility for storage, hobbies, or future use. Outside, the property's substantial acreage includes expansive cleared areas and established grounds, lending both privacy and potential. Located near Shaker Pond and within easy reach of the amenities of Alfred and surrounding southern Maine communities, this is a property that provides space, comfort, and the opportunity to make it your own.
