Open-concept kitchen/dining/living rooms, with hardwood floors throughout. Kitchen with attractive vaulted wood ceiling, and skylight. The den and full bath in the basement provide plenty of space, and flexibility. A great house for entertaining inside, as well as outside on the huge 14 x 24 deck off of the kitchen. Gather with friends around the fire pit and enjoy baking 'bean hole beans' the bean hole in the front yard—how fun does that sound! Gorgeous perennial gardens; large level yard; private 4.88+/- lot; and front porch with spectacular westerly, pastoral views. Generator hookup and 200 AMP service in the house. The detached 2-car garage has a fine-looking façade; 200 AMP service; and was plumbed to connect to the existing well and septic system should someone want to finish the space above into an accessory dwelling. Fabulous location, just minutes to the Topsham mall area, and easy access to I-295. Only 4.4 miles/about ten minutes to Amtrak's Downeaster/train station; Bowdoin College; and everything downtown Brunswick has to offer. Topsham is a vibrant community in Southern Mid Coast Maine—it has a new state of the art high school; modern middle school; and excellent elementary schools. A fabulous opportunity!
