About This Home

As of January 2023

Charming New Englander in the heart of Bowdoinham Village with two bedrooms and 1.5 baths. The first floor offers a living room with an abundance of natural light in the afternoon; wood-burning stove; and French doors that lead to the fully-applianced kitchen, and dining room. A convenient half bath finishes off the first floor. On the second floor, you'll find two ample sized bedrooms, and a full bathroom with a skylight. Improvements made in 2022 include the installation of hardwood flooring in the dining room and living room; interior painting on the first floor; and the construction of a spacious deck the front of the house. The full basement is accessible from a bulkhead and/or the interior. Enjoy outdoor rest and relaxation on the private and peaceful back porch, and enjoy scenic sunset views from the new front deck. Bowdoinham is a convivial and thriving community on Merrymeeting Bay with a newly renovated Country Store and plans for a new waterfront park. Sidewalks throughout the village lead to the Merrymeeting Community Center; Community School; Town Hall & Library; local pub; public boat landing; and a park/band stand where free weekly concerts and a robust Farmer's Market take place during the summer months. Live here and enjoy the best of both worlds: rural Maine living, and a location that is 35 minutes to Portland; 15 minutes to Brunswick; and 25 minutes to Augusta and/or L/A. A wonderful opportunity!
