About this home

It's hard to know where to begin, because this property checks off all the boxes, with a quality that makes you feel at home the moment you walk in. The stats: 4 beds, 2.5 baths, 1 acre lot, 1-car attached garage, 2-car detached with storage above, high-end shed for yard toys, huge composite deck with gazebo, 2 heat pumps, propane fireplace, patio with fire pit, primary bedroom with en suite bath, 2nd bath with deep modern soaking tub, half bath for guests, large laundry/mudroom on the first level, and a finished basement rec room. Hardwood floors flow through the kitchen, living room, and dining room. Siding, roof, chimney liners, and modern high-end windows and patio doors — it's all been done right. Check out the disclosures for all the details. The lifestyle: The primary bedroom enjoys a gorgeous green view over the well-landscaped yard and its own private bath. Three additional bedrooms offer flexibility for guests or a home office. The eat-in kitchen has such a nice vibe, and the adjacent sunroom can easily become a more traditional dining space if you prefer. The den/family room's cozy gas fireplace opens to the large deck through modern patio sliders with low maintenance, screened gazebo for relaxed evenings. Two landing pads are a luxury in Maine with a front foyer with large closet and additional mudroom/laundry room adjacent to the attached garage. This property has one of the more enviable parking scenarios around: an impeccable paved driveway leads to both the attached one-car garage and a detached two-car garage — perfection for toys, bikes, a workshop, or a studio. You name it, it has a home here. Best of all, the owners have already handled the big-ticket investments, so all that's left is choosing your paint colors and making it yours. Set along an easy thoroughfare that feels far more peaceful than its convenient location suggests, this home offers easy access to downtown Orono, the University of Maine, and Bangor's shopping district.
