About This Home

As of July 2025

Welcome to this peaceful and private retreat, nestled on 2.65 acres in the desirable town of Otis. Built in 2001, this well-maintained home offers 1,816 sq ft of thoughtfully designed living space across multiple levels—perfect for today's flexible lifestyle. The main floor features a warm layout with a well-appointed kitchen, dining area, comfortable living room, and a full bath with laundry. Additionally, on the first floor, unique walk-through bedroom adds versatility—ideal as a guest room, office, large closet, or nursery. The layout also allows for two traditional bedrooms on this level, making ground-floor living both easy and comfortable.

Upstairs, the spacious primary suite offers added privacy and connects to a third-floor bonus space—ideal as a studio, reading nook, or retreat. Bright and full of natural light, it invites endless possibilities.

Outside, enjoy a detached 3-bay garage and workshop space with an unfinished upper level—great for storage or future finished space. A large shed and charming greenhouse complete the outdoor offerings. Relax on the covered deck or patio and enjoy the serene woodland setting.

Enjoy deeded right-of-way access to Beach Hill Pond within the community. This area provides access for swimming, kayaking, and a dock for relaxing by the water. As an added bonus, a town public boat launch is just minutes away, and there is a paved ramp with limited parking for vehicles and trailers. For added fun, the town of Otis offers seasonal beach permits at the town landing.

Located just 25 minutes from Ellsworth and 35 minutes to Bangor, this peaceful escape offers the perfect blend of seclusion and convenience.
