Looking for privacy, energy efficiency, a gracious home design, and ample recreational opportunity close to town amenities, look no further! Owned by one family since it was built, this home has been lovingly maintained. Situated on over 10 acres, this saltbox cape has so much to love. Open concept living, first floor laundry and mudroom, sunny southwestern exposure, first floor 3/4 bath and den for one floor living if needed, and low energy costs thanks to extra insulation during construction. Master bedroom has large closets and cathedral ceilings. Beautiful yard is framed by mature forest. Established vegetable garden is already in full swing with half the bed planted with buckwheat to enrich the soil. The property abuts University of Maine land and has easy access to their trail system. Dry basement with high ceilings for all your storage needs or future bonus room. Shed with cantilevered eaves can shelter over 8 cord of wood, enough to heat the home for multiple winters. Harvest your own firewood right on the property too! Efficient wood stoves and heat pump means the furnace is used mostly for hot water production. Impeccable maintenance makes for an easy transition to a new owner. Close to University of Maine, Orono, and just 15 minutes to Bangor. Conveniently located for interstate access but still an incredibly quiet location.
