Set on two open, pasture-style acres just a short distance from town, this property checks the boxes that are getting harder and harder to find: single-level living, tremendous outbuilding space, and 65' of frontage on the Kennebec River. As you arrive, you're welcomed by a driveway lined with mature birch and maple trees, opening to a setting that's equal parts country and convenient. The home is a 1995-built ranch offering roughly 1,540 square feet of comfortable living: no stairs or basement. Step inside and you'll love how move-in ready it feels. The living room is spacious and anchored by a cozy pellet stove for Maine winters. The kitchen comes equipped with plenty of cabinet space and throughout the main living areas you'll find durable, easy-care floors which have all the warmth of the wood look with almost none of the upkeep. The home offers two comfortable bedrooms and a full bath beautifully finished with tile flooring and a custom vanity topped with a solid-surface wood counter, plus a convenient half bath in the laundry area, giving you a true one-and-a-half-bath layout. And there's flex space to spare with two sunrooms, one just off the back bedroom that works as a bright extension of that space, complete with its own Rinnai heater and views over the back field, with another generous room in the front of the home that could make an ideal living room, study or mud room. Out back you'll find a huge custom barn built with steel and large sawn beams featuring a stunning custom staircase, large overhead door, and a full second level ready to serve as a bonus room, recreation space, or whatever you can dream up. For anyone who needs serious storage, workspace, or room for projects, this is the showstopper. Comfort is covered year-round with hot water baseboard heat plus wood and pellet stoves, and outside there's parking for everyone, room to grow your own food and flowers with already existing raised bed gardens, and a fire pit in the yard
