About This Home
Welcome to 55 Bay Road, a charming Bowdoinham home offering village convenience, comfortable living spaces and a surprisingly private backyard. Situated on a manageable 0.24-acre lot, the property features established perennial gardens, a storage shed, cedar privacy fencing and a rear deck overlooking the lawn--an inviting setting for outdoor dining, gardening or relaxing.
Inside, the open kitchen, dining and living areas create an easy, welcoming flow. The kitchen offers oak cabinetry, stainless-steel appliances, hardwood flooring and a center island, while exposed beams and arched openings add warmth and character. The first floor also includes a comfortable bedroom, a beautifully finished bath with a glass-enclosed shower and farmhouse-style sink, plus a practical laundry and utility room. Upstairs, a spacious finished level with hardwood flooring and a skylight provides flexible space for additional sleeping quarters, a home office, studio or recreation area.
The home underwent extensive rebuilding and system improvements between 2004 and 2014, including the foundation and crawlspace, septic system, furnace, electrical wiring and panel, plumbing, insulation, roof, pine clapboard siding, Andersen replacement windows, kitchen, bath, flooring and interior finishes.
Enjoy Bowdoinham's vibrant small-town atmosphere near the public library, farmers' market and community events. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate nearby Mailly Waterfront Park, Bowdoinham Riverfront Park, Cathance River trails, boat and accessible kayak launches, and access to Merrymeeting Bay. A wonderful opportunity to enjoy Midcoast Maine living with convenient connections to Brunswick, Topsham, Bath and Augusta.
