About This Home
Space, versatility & in-town convenience come together in this 4-bedroom, 3-bath Cape with a separate studio apartment, attached heated two-car garage & private 0.9± acre lot. Offering 2,440± sq. ft. of living space, this property provides a combination that's hard to find in Bucksport--multiple living options, public water & sewer, generous outdoor space & a location just steps from Bucksport High School and minutes from downtown and the waterfront.
The freshly painted main home features a bright, comfortable layout. The kitchen offers granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a gas range, ample cabinetry & a center peninsula for gathering. Just off the kitchen, the enclosed sunroom features a cathedral tongue-and-groove ceiling & walls of windows overlooking the backyard. Heat pumps on both floors provide efficient heating & cooling, complemented by hot-water baseboard heat.
A first-floor bedroom & full bath provide options for guests, a home office or one-level living. Upstairs, the spacious primary bedroom shares a Jack-and-Jill bath with two additional bedrooms.
Above the attached garage is a separate studio apartment with its own private entrance, full bath & hot-water baseboard heat. Municipal assessing records identify the property as having two dwelling units and identify this space as a studio apartment. It's an appealing setup for extended family, guests, work-from-home needs or a variety of living arrangements. The attached two-car garage below is heated with radiant heat.
Outside, mature trees & open clearings create a surprisingly private backyard for an in-town property. Enjoy being close to schools, downtown Bucksport, the waterfront, shopping, restaurants & everyday amenities while still coming home to a wooded setting. A new roof in 2022, public water & sewer and thoughtful updates complete a property offering space and versatility that's difficult to duplicate at this location.
