About This Home

As of September 2023

This beautifully designed custom home is an enchanting retreat into nature. Impeccably maintained inside and out, it offers a stunning open-concept interior w/ dramatic cathedral ceilings; and an exterior that offers a welcoming porch; fire pit; and private fenced-in yard. Significant improvements since 2016 include a kitchen remodel with new cabinetry; granite counters; appliances; and custom-made lighting fixture. Expansions include the addition of a large mudroom and attached 2-car garage with storage above (the mudroom and garage have radiant heating installed but not yet hooked up to the furnace); and the addition of a screened-in porch. The daylight walkout basement has its own entrance; full bathroom; propane wood-style stove; and could easily be converted to serve as an in-law apartment or Airbnb. Heat pumps and Nest thermostats provide energy efficiency. A ring security system provides peace of mind. Stonewalls and stone walkways offer handsome hardscaping, and mature perennial beds offer lovely landscaping. A shed with electricity provides extra space for a home office or an artist's studio. In 2020, the driveway was paved, and the exterior of the entire house and garage were stripped and re-stained. New roof shingles are being installed before 10/31/2023. This is a 3-bedroom house with a septic system designed for 2 bedrooms/four people. Bowdoinham is a convivial and thriving community on Merrymeeting Bay with a newly renovated Country Store and plans for a new waterfront park. Sidewalks throughout the village lead to the Merrymeeting Community Center; Community School; Town Hall & Library; local pub; public boat landing; and a waterfront park where free weekly concerts, and a robust Farmer's Market take place during the summer months. Live here and enjoy the best of both worlds: rural Maine living, and a convenient location only 40 minutes to Portland; 20 minutes to Brunswick; 25 minutes to Augusta; and 30 minutes to L/A. Very special.
