Close to everything. Tucked away from it all. Less than three miles from the charming coastal town of Damariscotta, with its wonderful shops, restaurants, and waterfront, this Newcastle home offers the perfect balance of convenience and peaceful Maine living. Set on a private one-acre lot, the property provides a quiet retreat while keeping you just minutes from everything that makes this Midcoast community so special. The current owners have made meaningful investments in the home's comfort, efficiency, and functionality, including a new furnace, spray foam insulation in both the basement and attic. The home also features radiant heat, providing an added level of comfort during Maine's colder months. Additional improvements include new windows, new interior and exterior doors, Thermadoor gas stove and dishwasher, fresh paint throughout most rooms, and new composite decking. These thoughtful updates provide a strong foundation for the next owner. The home offers comfortable living spaces, while the basement provides plenty of additional storage. Outside, enjoy a large, newly leveled and seeded yard. Spend time relaxing on the porch, evenings gathered around a campfire or afternoons gardening and making the most of your own private outdoor space. With many improvements already completed, this home offers an exciting opportunity for its next owner to add the finishing touches and make it truly their own.
