If you want a little country without giving up convenience, then this may be exactly what you've been looking for. Just 12 miles from Downtown Bangor and 7 miles from the University of Maine flagship campus in Orono, this 3/4-acre property offers breathing room, mature maples, space for a garden, and plenty of room for kayaks, bikes, a camper, or the other toys that come with enjoying Maine. The home itself has been thoughtfully improved with care, attention to detail, and pride of ownership. The seller has gone the extra mile to make it comfortable, functional, and move-in ready, completing much of the work buyers often face after purchase. Inside, extensive updates include two layers of sheetrock replacing the original plaster, newer windows, updated flooring, and 100% interior painting. Attention to detail shows in the finish work, where the seller even took the time to sand between each coat of paint for an exceptionally smooth finish. Who doesn't appreciate a seller focused on the details? That level of care says a lot about how the entire property has been approached. A new hybrid hot water heater, polyurethane-finished basement floor, and water softener installed after a water test round out the practical improvements. A three-season enclosed porch gives you a spot for morning coffee or tea, while the workshop attached to the kitchen is ready for woodworking, tinkering, hobbies, or whatever project comes next. Add a heat pump or wall unit to the workshop and make it a comfortable year-round space. Outside is where country living gets fun. Plant the garden you've been talking about, tap the mature maple trees and try your hand at making maple syrup, spread out on the lawn, or simply enjoy having some elbow room. A well-built 12' x 12' shed provides additional storage, and there's room for a future garage. Come home, spread out, and enjoy a little more Maine. Call/Text/Email
