This isn't just a newer home--it's the kind of home that quietly outperforms everything else you've been seeing. Built the end of 2023 and thoughtfully improved since, it offers the benefits of new construction without the wait--or the unfinished details that often come with it. From the moment you walk in, the space just works. The kitchen is bright, functional, and designed for real life, with quartz countertops, a generous island, and a layout that flows naturally into the dining and living areas. It's open without feeling exposed--perfect for both everyday routines and hosting without chaos. Natural light fills the main living space, where a modern fireplace creates a warm, grounded focal point without overpowering the room. The finishes throughout are clean, cohesive, and intentionally chosen. Nothing trendy for the sake of it--just quality that holds up over time. The primary suite continues that feeling, featuring a custom walk-in closet that keeps everything organized and actually usable (because most ''walk-ins'' don't quite deliver). And then there's what most people don't think to ask about--but should. Thoughtful behind-the-scenes upgrades include a Fantech 750 makeup air system designed to support improved indoor air quality and balanced humidity levels year-round, radon mitigation already in place, and a standby generator setup for added peace of mind. It's the kind of infrastructure that makes daily living healthier, easier, and more reliable. Set in a peaceful location, this home also offers convenient access to Windham for everyday needs, Portland for dining, shopping, and the waterfront, and an easy route south for those commuting toward Boston. It's a balance of quiet living and real-world accessibility that's getting harder to find.
