42 Birchwood LanePoland, ME 04274Price: $459,900

Tucked away on almost 2 wooded acres in Poland, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath multilevel home blends warmth, real craftsmanship, and rare expansion potential. Built in 1989 and full of character, it opens through a covered porch into a showstopping living room with cathedral knotty-pine ceiling, exposed beams, and a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone chimney anchored by a wood stove that throws real heat. A loft balcony overlooks the space from above. The first-floor primary bedroom carries the theme: warm pine walls, beamed ceiling, and a mini-split for year-round comfort. The open kitchen offers generous cabinetry, stainless appliances, an island with seating, and a sunny dining area framed by oversized windows. Hardwood floors run throughout, and expansive vaulted bonus rooms upstairs flex easily into a media room, office, or guest space. The 2nd floor offers two spacious bedrooms with cathedral ceilings and a full bathroom. A versatile former attached garage with its own entrance adds real upside to reclaim it as a garage, finish it for additional living area, or explore its potential as an in-law suite or potential ADU. Outside: your own in-ground pool, stone patio, and fire pit, all wrapped in mature trees, plus a garage with workshop and overhead storage and additional outbuilding space. Set on a quiet wooded lot with easy access to Route 26 providing a short commute south toward Portland or north to the lakes and ski areas. This home boasts privacy, space, and genuine soul, with room to make it your own.
