Lot 5 Birchwood Drive

About this home

Welcome to Lot 5 at Freshwater Woods on Annabessacook Lake, a premier direct-waterfront contemporary residence set privately on 2.55 wooded acres with approximately 200 feet of owned shoreline. Situated within an exclusive 13-lot lakeside enclave, this custom home exemplifies modern Scandinavian-inspired design, pairing elevated architectural sophistication with advanced building science and high-performance efficiency. Constructed to the highest standard, the home features closed-cell spray foam insulation, European triple-glazed windows, engineered hardwood flooring, and multi-zone ducted heating and central air conditioning. The main level is distinguished by airy 10-foot ceilings and centers around a chef's kitchen complete with polished stone countertops, an expansive center island, and a walk-in pantry, opening seamlessly into a sunlit living area anchored by a gas fireplace. A functional mudroom provides direct entry from the attached two-car garage. Upstairs, a second-floor three-season sunroom captures sweeping elevated views of the water and surrounding forest canopy. The upper level hosts three spacious bedrooms, including a serene primary suite complete with a custom walk-in closet and a beautifully tiled designer bath. Downstairs, a finished daylight walk-out lower level extends the living space, offering an exceptional lounge or recreation room that steps directly out toward the lakefront grounds. In addition to private owned shoreline, residents enjoy deeded access to 25 acres of shared conservation space and over 350 feet of sandy community beach on Annabessacook Lake with planned waterfront amenities. The setting offers endless four-season adventure, from summer boating and paddling across Annabessacook and neighboring Lake Cobbossee, to winter ice fishing and regional snowmobile trail access. Ideally situated in Monmouth, minutes from Augusta and one hour from Portland.
