About This Home
Set on 7.4 acres in Bowdoin, this unique Maine home gives you space, privacy, and a peaceful country setting while still being close to plenty to do. Enjoy quiet living at home, then take a short drive to Brunswick and Topsham for shopping, restaurants, coffee shops, Bowdoin College, arts, and local events. Bath, Freeport, Lewiston/Auburn, Augusta, and the coast are also within reach, giving you easy access to museums, beaches, hiking, shopping, and Maine day trips.
The main living area offers a first-floor primary bedroom with a full bath. The kitchen, dining, and living room are open to each other, making the home feel bright and welcoming. The living room features vaulted beamed ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace with insert. Upstairs, there is a large loft-style bedroom with a slider that opens to a deck.
One of the best features of this home is the heated indoor pool. The sunny entry area gives you extra space for pool towels, storage, and pool items. The home also includes a large exercise room, laundry area, oversized 2-car garage, and storage above the garage.
The second living space gives you even more room. The main level has a family room with a woodstove and a full bath. Upstairs, there is a kitchen, dining area, living room, full bath, two bedrooms, and extra bonus space on the third level.
Outside, you have 7.4 acres to enjoy, along with a barn with solar panels and a separate garden shed. There is room to garden, relax, entertain, explore, or simply enjoy the quiet setting.
This is not a cookie-cutter home. It offers indoor pool space, two separate living areas, acreage, garage space, outbuildings, and a great location close to some of Midcoast and Central Maine's best places to visit.
