This 2 bedroom, 1.5 bath grid tied solar-powered home with a large bonus room has an amazing location and historic charm. Hardwood floors, historic details and built-ins fill this home with charm and character. The galley kitchen overlooks the large, beautifully landscaped backyard, firepit and patio. A downstairs bonus room can be an office space or living space and is private from other downstairs rooms. Upstairs a large primary bedroom is full of natural light. Down the hall is a full bath and second bedroom with hardwood floors throughout. Roof top grid tied solar array and energy efficient appliances along with a high efficiency natural gas furnace and Tesla whole house battery backup keep the lights and heat on during extended power outages while also keeping utility bills low. Careful electricity usage and ample roof top panels generate an annual surplus of electricity which can be used to charge a vehicle and is roughly equivalent to 300 gallons of gas annually. Roughly 8 miles of local multiuse ski, bike and hiking trails are outside your backdoor. Located near local schools, downtown Orono, UMaine and connecting to the local trail network this home has convenient living for an active lifestyle.
