An optical illusion! This house sits on a tree-lined in-town neighborhood street & seems like an average sized, compact ranch when viewed from the street, but it is so much more. When you go inside you see the generous proportions of the rooms, the polished wood floors throughout, and the craftsmanship of this well-made home. Two large bedrooms, each with 2 closets, and a small bonus room in the dormered finished attic space provide space for you & overnight guests. There is a pantry closet in the kitchen, a coat closet at the front door, and built-in storage for linens, towels and blankets. A sliding glass door brings you to a fenced back yard for your pet to romp in & a small patio area for an outdoor table and grill. Upstairs is a room for crafts, exercise, storage, or extra sleeping space. The one car garage with automatic garage door opener is attached. Outside are raised beds containing rich, organic soil, a bountiful apple tree, and mature ornamental shrubs, perennials & trees. A small shed adjacent to the patio makes great winter storage for outdoor furniture, a lawn mower, or gardening supplies. From the open front porch you can hear the birds singing & enjoy iced tea or lunch with friends. Best of all, this property is located just a block from the center of town which includes a bank, a grocery store, the Searsport Marine Museum, and a restaurant. Public ocean access to the rocky shore of Penobscot Bay is about a half mile away at the edge of the large grassy municipal park. Come take a look! It may be just what you have been looking for.
