About This Home

As of January 2026

Nestled on 2.48± acres, this recently updated 2,960 square foot colonial-style home in Bowdoin offers privacy just 9 minutes to I-295. Recent upgrades include a freshly painted interior throughout, refinishing of all wood floors, and new carpet installed on the second floor. Enter through the two bay garage—attached for your unloading convenience. Stop messes in their tracks with a mudroom and a half bath with laundry off the garage. The spacious kitchen offers ample storage space and flows into the backyard for ease of entertaining. Keep warm in the winter or take the edge off cool summer days in the living room with a propane fireplace and pellet stove. The formal dining room is tucked away for formal gatherings and could serve as a first floor bedroom. Upstairs, you'll find the spacious primary bedroom with ensuite bath as well as three additional bedrooms that share a full bath with dual sinks. The full basement with woodstove provides ample storage space with the opportunity for additional living space. Outside, low maintenance plantings and a spacious yard on all four sides awaits. Just 14 minutes to Richmond, 19 minutes to Topsham, and 45 minutes to Portland.
