8 University Place Orono, ME 04473

Here's your little piece of heaven on the Stillwater River in the heart of Orono! It's close to downtown and a short walk to the UM campus but once you're on the property you'll feel like you've found your sanctuary. The home is loaded with character and charm and outside you're surrounded by mature trees, shrubs, and gardens. This would be a great work from home property. As you enter the foyer/mud room you'll have a wall of closets to handle all your coat storage needs. This space is heated with a Rinnai propane unit. The living room is large and has a beamed ceiling, a fireplace with a woodstove insert, built-in bookcases on each side of the fireplace, and French doors leading out to a screened room for those warm summer nights. The dining room and the kitchen have tin ceilings. The kitchen also has stainless appliances including a dual-fuel gas range, refrigerator, dishwasher, tile flooring, and recessed LED lighting. A large first floor bedroom and a full bath create convenience if one floor living is ever needed. As you go up the stairs to the second floor you'll enter a room with versatility. Think den, office, studio etc. There are two pleasant bedrooms and a second full bath too. Hardwood floors through most of the house add to the charm. Three heat pumps added in 2023 provide versatility to heating and cooling. All that's left to do is to grab your canoe or kayak and get out on the river and enjoy life!
