About This Home

As of July 2025

Welcome to 65 Hillcrest Lane located just outside of the quaint town of North East. If you are looking for a home with charm and character, your search is over. This one is loaded with both, and offers all that one could ask for. The lot is a sprawling 2.98 acres of open space, surrounded by a lush hedge that offers unrivaled privacy. The classic center hall floor plan is both grand and spectacular in this setting. The foyer offers gleaming floors, high ceilings and intricate trim. The kitchen features gas cooking with designer appliances, soap stone counter tops and a view of the North East River from the window. This is a place the gourmet in the family will love! The family room has a gas fireplace that takes the chill off of the cold winter nights. A breakfast table sits in front of a large window overlooking the rear yard making this the perfect place to both start and end your day. You can see the river from here as well! The dining room is loaded with a generous amount of character, and just waiting for those special holidays or dinner parties. The living room is a special space decorated for the most formal affairs. It is grand in looks and size and features a second fireplace. The rear porch has been modernized to ensure you get the most out of it regardless of the season. The windows bring the outdoors inside to you when you are here. The rear steps lead to a large stone patio where you will watch the Town of North East's Independence Day fireworks display with family and friends for years to come! Upstairs the primary bedroom features a four piece bath that could rival the finest spa. Oh yes, there is another view of the river from this space as well. There are also two additional bedrooms and another full bath on this level. One of the best features of this home is the main level fourth bedroom. This room, just off of the den, offers ample space, and a full bath. Outside, the driveway is long, wrapping around to the detached garage. On the right side coming in is the perfectly flat outdoor party area where the largest tent you can imagine would fit with ease. There is an electric dog fence surrounding this property. The North East River Yacht Club is just a very short walk down the street, offering slips, a restaurant, and a welcoming atmosphere. Come see this one today!
