About This Home
As of September 2021The Loon calls and he is saying ''Life is better at the Lake''! Year round living is just one of the perks in this beautiful Post and Beam lakeside home and cottage on the eastside of Sebasticook Lake. Over 1 acre and 227 feet of frontage on the lake PLUS a guest cottage perfect for visitors or potential rental income (think Air BNB). Meticulously maintained and move in ready, the seller has done many updates over 20 years of ownership including remodeled kitchen, baths, engineered hardwood flooring and tiled kitchen and baths, added in-law or guest suite, perennial gardens galore, stone patios, 2 dock systems and more. Large 2 car attached garage with overhead storage allows plenty of room for boats and toys.
Exposed beamed vaulted ceilings, combined with an open floor plan offer friendly open spaces inside and out. Walk out to three stone patios above an open backyard that gently slopes to the lake. Two pebble beaches and docks.
The 2 BR, 3-season knotty pine cottage provides Air BNB potential or room for guests. Great rental income potential
Relax lakeside by the massive firepit and listen to the loons calling while enjoying the western sunset. This is a 4-season property that offers it all; swimming, fishing, boating, snow mobiling, ice fishing, skating.
Sebasticook Lake boasts some of the best bass fishing in the area. Centrally located with easy access to Newport, Bangor, Waterville.
(Bedroom and bath count are both home and cabin combined)
