A little home with a lot going for it! This remodeled 1970s single-wide offers an affordable way to put down roots in the town of Portage Lake with some features you might not expect. Set on .62 acres, the home sits on a full concrete foundation with a basement offering additional space for storage, hobbies or whatever life happens to bring along. Inside you'll find two bedrooms and one bath, with updates that have given this home a fresh start while keeping things simple and manageable. When northern Maine winter rolls around, you've got options: an oil boiler provides dependable heat, while the wood stove lets you warm things up the old-fashioned way. Outside, both front and back porches give you a spot to enjoy the quieter seasons, and there's no shortage of room for the toys and tools with a one-car garage plus two additional storage sheds take care of that. And then there's Portage Lake itself. This small northern Maine town punches well above its weight when it comes to recreation, with the lake, trails and miles of woods making it easy to spend your free time outside. You're within reach of the services you need while still getting the breathing room that makes life up here a little different. Affordable, comfortable and manageable with a garage, basement, acreage and plenty of storage to boot. Sometimes simple is exactly what you're looking for.
