About This Home

As of November 2024

NESTLED IN THE SOUGHT-AFTER TOWN OF ELIOT, MAINE, this classic 1957 single-level Ranch has lots of potential and is less than 3-miles from public access to the Piscataqua River. While the home exudes some original details that add a sense of nostalgia, it's ready for modern updates, or a complete renovation that could embrace its mid-century charm. The home has never been offered for sale and the original owners have maintained it over the decades of ownership with updates including a new heating system in 2014, a new roof in 2009, new gas fireplace insert in 2020, some windows replaced in 2015, and a new Artesian well in 2021, and newer electric panel. Offering 3+ bedrooms and 1,200 sq. ft. of living space, the home sits on an expansive 1.64-acre lot, providing a tranquil retreat with nature all around and views of an abutting pond. The lot features a large, open grassy area, ideal for gardening, outdoor play, or simply enjoying the serene surroundings. Mature trees provide ample screening as well as shelter for the abundant natural local wildlife. The detached 2-car garage has space for vehicles, tools, or hobby storage, along with an oversized 10' x 15' shed that could serve as a workshop, studio, or provide some additional storage. This peaceful property is ideal for those seeking a quiet, rural lifestyle while still being close to local amenities and the picturesque Maine coastline as it offers the quiet, rural charm of Eliot without sacrificing convenience. Local shops, town offices and schools are all nearby. Whether you're looking to renovate for resale or create your forever home, this property presents endless potential in a highly sought-after area. Only 65-miles to Boston Logan and 50-minutes to the Portland Jetport; 6-miles to Portsmouth Naval Shipyard and only 7-miles to either Portsmouth or Dover, NH. Don't miss this opportunity to own a home with great bones and endless potential in one of Eliot's most desirable areas!
