About This Home
As of October 2021Unique and absolutely charming property in the heart of Bowdoinham Village zoned for residential or commercial use. Dating back to the 1860's, what was originally a storefront has served as a single-family home for many years. Recent cosmetic improvements include new kitchen counter & kitchen sink; bathroom renovation; and newly painted interior. Structural upgrages include new foundation/sill installed along driveway side of house; installation and painting of exterior siding; installation of cedar shakes on back exterior; and new door and frame to deck. Enjoy relaxing on the new front porch, or on the new back deck overlooking established raised garden beds. Second floor laundry; attached 1-car garage with large storage loft; and a full basement with crushed stone floor. Bowdoinham is a convivial and thriving community on Merrymeeting Bay with many exciting changes in progress including major renovations to the Bowdoinham Country Store, and plans underway for a new waterfront park. Across the street is the recently renovated Grange Hall, which is now the Merrymeeting Community Center. Sidewalks throughout the village lead to the Community School; public boat landing; band stand/park with free weekly concerts during the summer months; wonderful Town Library; and local pub. Live here and enjoy the best of both worlds: rural Maine living, and a location that is 40 minutes to Portland; 15 minutes to Brunswick; and 25 minutes to Augusta and/or L/A. A rare opportunity!
