Welcome to Unit 2 at Pine Meadow, where a single neighbor and open surroundings give this cottage all the privacy of a corner lot. This freestanding cottage sits near the front of one of southern Maine's most desirable 55+ communities, an easy in-and-out location that still feels tucked away, with extra afternoon sun and room to breathe. Built just a few years ago and lovingly maintained by its original owner, it lives like new construction without the wait. Inside, vaulted ceilings and an open floor plan keep everything bright and airy. The kitchen anchors the space with granite counters and stainless appliances, flowing directly into a living area that suits a quiet night in as easily as it does have company over. Two heat pumps keep the home comfortable year-round plus cool and refreshing through the summer months and efficient warmth when the weather turns. Upstairs, a finished loft adds flexible bonus square footage-home office, guest space, studio, or a spot to curl up with a book. The main-floor bedroom means single-level living when you want it, and the full bath includes a stackable washer and dryer, so laundry never means a trip elsewhere. Step outside to a private stone patio built for slow mornings and unhurried evenings, framed by thoughtful, low-maintenance landscaping with room for potted plants or a small raised garden bed. Just minutes from beaches, walking trails, shopping, and dining, this turn-key cottage is an effortless fit for anyone downsizing, retiring, or simply ready to trade upkeep for easy coastal living.
