About This Home

As of May 2025

An exceptionally well cared for New England shingled style ranch offers the rare opportunity to be situated on over ten acres+/-. in the Orono community. This property features an expansive landscaped and manicured yard. This beautiful home boasts three bedrooms (including a master bedroom suite on the lower level with cozy wood stove and walk in cedar closet), lower level great room and office area with expansive built-ins. There's kitchen built for a chef with a six-burner gas Wolf cooktop and double ovens, Sub-Zero refrigerator freezer, custom cabinets and drawers, slate and hammered nickel sinks, granite and quartz countertops as well as radiant heat floors all overlooking the gardens and yard beyond. Nothing was spared in the design and decoration throughout the house. The floors are tile and beautifully finished white oak wood flooring. Central air conditioning, custom updates, art lighting, gas fireplace, excess of closets and storage, newly built retaining wall, a whole house generator and so much more make this home a very special offering. Just down the road from Orono Village's restaurants and shops, and a 10-15 minute commute to Bangor International Airport, shopping and much more...
