About This Home

Step into this spacious, quality built, 4-5 bedroom, three bath home. Just 30 minutes from the city of Bangor and 15 minutes from Lincoln. It was the original home of a long-time local, beloved doctor, and his family. Rooms are large and spacious—Hardwood floors, living room with a gas (glass face) stove. Den or library, formal dining room, eat in kitchen, and much more. The windows and the electric have all been updated. A full-service, on-demand generator, finished basement with four rooms, which were once the waiting and exam rooms. Well landscaped (level) 1.7 acres for plenty of lawn for play, entertainment, or gardens. A two-car garage with an attached room for gardening preparations. Although the river has a steep slope, the boat landing is conveniently located just down the street. A bonus is the eagles that have taken up residency in the pine tree behind the house, where you can enjoy seeing newborns being fed, learn to fly, and have your own wildlife show every day.
