This beautifully maintained and freshly painted single-family ranch offers the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and versatility. Nestled on a quiet dead-end street, this 2-bedroom, 1-bath gem is ideal for first-time buyers, downsizers, or anyone looking for low-maintenance living with room to grow.

Step inside to a warm, inviting interior featuring fresh professional paint throughout, ready for you to move right in. The main living area is cozy yet spacious, offering great natural light and easy flow between the living room and kitchen. The recently refinished original hardwood floors run throughout the living room, hallway and bedrooms, elevating the homes aesthetic and adding to its mid-century charm.

The updated furnace, oil tank, and brand-new roof give you peace of mind for years to come.

Need extra space? The partially finished basement offers endless potential for a den, office, gym, or additional storage—tailor it to your lifestyle!

Outside, enjoy a sizable, professionally landscaped, .37-acre lot with ample room for gardening, pets, or backyard gatherings.

An attached 1-car garage and shed provide convenience and storage, while the peaceful, tucked-away location still keeps you close to downtown Orono, the University of Maine, local parks, and I-95.

Whether you're looking to settle down, simplify, or expand your rental investment portfolio, this home checks all the boxes—don't miss your chance to make it yours!
