With four bedrooms plus a bonus room, and a flexible floor plan that includes a first-floor bedroom, the home provides options for a variety of living arrangements. Original hardwood floors, a wood-burning fireplace, and thoughtful built-ins speak to the durability and care typical of homes from this era.

The yard offers open areas suitable for gardening, recreation, or simply enjoying the outdoors. A full walk-out basement adds useful storage and future potential, while town water, and an oversized detached two-car garage bring everyday convenience. Located intown with quick access to I-295, nearby recreation, and local amenities, this property offers a convenient village setting. From the home, it's an easy stroll to the town center for summer farmers markets or down to the waterfront landing, combining everyday livability with access to Bowdoinham's seasonal highlights. A solid home with room to personalize, offering the next owner an opportunity to build on a strong foundation in one the most desired neighborhoods.
