About This Home
As of September 2025Open House July 19 and 20 Noon to 2pm, July 26 Noon to 2pm. Welcome to Sugar Maple Lake House. This stunning, fully renovated waterfront home on Sebasticook Lake is your chance to make that dream a reality! Perfectly positioned at the very end of a quiet dead-end street, this hidden gem offers rare privacy and serenity with 260 feet of sparkling water frontage.
Currently used as a successful short-term rental, this property generates approximately 60,000 annually, offering both a beautiful retreat and an excellent income opportunity.
The beautifully landscaped, oversized lot features a gently sloping lawn that leads right to the water's edge—ideal for swimming, boating, and lakeside lounging. Inside, you'll find a warm and inviting farmhouse-inspired interior complete with a gorgeous cherry kitchen, stainless steel appliances, shiplap accents, stylish lighting, and updated flooring throughout. With three cozy bedrooms, two well-appointed bathrooms, and first-floor laundry, the home is as functional as it is charming.
Enjoy peace of mind with updated plumbing, electrical, insulation, windows, siding, and roof. Heat pumps were recently installed. A large shed provides extra storage, and there's plenty of space to build a garage in the future.
Start your mornings on the expansive deck with coffee and breathtaking lake views, and end your evenings by the fire pit as the sun sets over the water. Year-round outdoor fun awaits—swimming, kayaking, fishing, snowmobiling, or just relaxing on your own private beach.
All this just minutes from local amenities, restaurants, schools, and I-95. Whether you're looking for a full-time home, vacation getaway, or investment property, this lakefront oasis has it all.
