Built by respected local builder David Barker, the home reflects quality craftsmanship and enduring care. The well-designed floor plan offers four bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms, including first-floor laundry and a flexible den, office, or bedroom space. Oak hardwood floors run throughout a majority of the living areas, while warm pine trim accents, a wood-burning fireplace, and a hand-crafted oak mantel add timeless character and charm. A bonus room above the garage--finished in 2005 and complete with a pool table--provides excellent additional living or recreational space. Stately stone walls line portions of the property, complemented by gorgeous flowering gardens and mature trees that enhance the beauty of the grounds throughout the seasons. Privacy abounds on this nearly 24-acre retreat, beautifully bordered by streams on two sides and anchored by an open field with peaceful sunrise views. With approximately 624 feet of frontage on Cobbossee Stream, the setting feels both expansive and serene. Nearby access to trails, conservation land, and Hutchinson Pond makes this an ideal location for outdoor enthusiasts, while Cobbosseecontee Lake is just a short drive away. Despite its tranquil surroundings, the property offers quick access to I-295 and an easy 50-minute commute to Portland--creating the perfect balance of seclusion and convenience. This could be the home you've been waiting for. 3 bedroom Septic
