About This Home

As of October 2024

Experience serene country living in this charming, well-maintained Cape. Nestled on a lightly traveled road, this beautifully renovated home (2018-2020) invites you to relax on its farmer's porch, perfect for morning coffee and birdwatching. Inside, enjoy bright, airy spaces with gorgeous wood floors throughout. The kitchen features quartz countertops, a new Kitchen Aid stove and microwave, a farmhouse sink overlooking the yard, and a wood stove to keep you cozy on chilly winter nights. The dining room opens to a screened-in porch, featuring screening under the decking and yard access, perfect for enjoying nature and catching spectacular sunsets overlooking the ridge!
This spacious home offers five bedrooms and three bathrooms in the main house, plus a one bedroom, one bath in-law suite above the garage with a separate entrance, making it an ideal rental unit. This home retains its original charm with several custom built-ins and trim work, closet doors, and shelving milled from the nearby Alna woods! Adding to the updates, the master bath has been recently updated with custom tile work. Modern conveniences include a new Maytag washer and dryer on the first floor, and three heat pumps for year-round comfort. Plenty of storage in the functional walkout basement offers plenty, featuring a workshop area, gym space, and a newly added slider for easy outdoor access. The yard includes an established garden with raised beds, a greenhouse for growing your own veggies, and a shed that houses a backup generator with a power inlet and chicken coop. Entertain on the large platform deck with built in fire pit. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the acres of trails and a trailhead right in your backyard!
Minutes from The Alna Store, a 2024 James Beard Award ''Best New Restaurant'' semifinalist, and the iconic Sheepscot Village at the peak of Alna's sought-after Golden Ridge. Just 8 minutes to Wiscasset, 12 to Damariscotta, and 20 minutes to Bath. Don't miss this opportunity!
