About This Home

As of November 2022

Nestled atop one of the highest points in Gorham you will find this custom built three bedroom, with additional spaces to use as a potential fourth bedroom home. The 3.42 acre lot is well protected by mature trees and rock walls creating a private setting that is nearly impossible to find, or recreate, in today's high density building environment. The exterior of the home gives the appearance of another cookie cutter colonial, but inside you will discover anything but that. Upon entering the home you will find 3,000 square feet of living space spread out over multiple floors that include a spacious mudroom and a half bath off the garage, formal dining room, breakfast nook, updated kitchen with a pantry, and a living room featuring a wood stove and beautiful built-ins. Up a half flight of stairs is a spacious, sun-filled, family room which offers flexible living space amazing for family gatherings. Over the garage is a massive two-level bonus room complete with a private half bath. On the top level there is a primary bedroom with a primary bath and a large closet, two big bedrooms serviced by an additional full bath, and an additional room that could make a fourth bedroom, office, or a big walk-in closet. Down a half flight of stairs from the main level is another bonus room which makes for a great home office or game room. The garage offers parking for four cars with tandem parking or a great space for a workshop in the back. Although this home has a Files Road address it belongs to the Ledge Hills Estates HOA which gives the owners access to a tennis court, playground, basketball court, and picnic area. Be sure to check out the photos and floor plans available to help you better understand just how special and unique this property truly is!
