This is anything but an ordinary home. Designed by Maine architect Cooper Milliken, this one-of-a-kind Mid-Century Modern offers 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and an incredible amount of personality on a quiet one-third-acre lot in the heart of Orono.
Step inside and you’re greeted by a dramatic wall of windows, multiple living levels, soaring wood ceilings, hardwood floors, a fireplace, skylight, built-in seating, and wonderful original details. Natural materials—including slate, copper, stone, tile, and wood—give the home a warm, organic character that feels perfectly connected to its surroundings.
The lower level offers two bedrooms, a family room with a second kitchen, a soaking tub overlooking nature, and access to a terraced garden with established raspberries. An 8' x 20' deck with catio provides even more space to enjoy the outdoors.
With its new metal roof, radiant heat, original architectural plans, and unmistakable Mid-Century character, this is a home for someone who appreciates great design, interesting spaces, and a property that truly stands apart.
