20 Hayes Street

About this home

Some homes feel like a deep breath. At 20 Hayes Street, mornings open with coffee and a view of the Penobscot River, with 45 feet of private frontage putting the water right in your backyard. Watch the light change over the river through the seasons, launch a kayak on a summer evening, or sit and listen to the current roll by. Inside, about 1,004 square feet of space offers a well-maintained two+ bedroom, full-bath home with a warm, manageable layout, the kind of home that's easy to settle into and care for. For years, this yard grew a garden every summer. It's been resting the past two seasons, but the space is still there, waiting for someone new to dig in, plant tomatoes, and bring it back to life with the river as a backdrop. Set in a welcoming neighborhood on French Island, the home feels tucked away, yet you're only minutes from downtown Old Town, the University of Maine in Orono, and I-95 for an easy trip to Bangor. A riverfront home at this size and price comes along rarely. See this riverfront home for yourself.
