    What's special

    Serenely situated on the shores of TODDY POND in ORLAND, this classic 3-bedroom, 1-bath WATERFRONT cottage has been thoughtfully improved while preserving the nostalgic charm that makes Maine lakeside living so special. Held by the same family since 1972, this first-time-on-the-market offering presents a special opportunity to begin a legacy of your own. The waterfront is what truly sets this property apart, beginning with its own sandy beach--a hard-to-find feature that's ideal for swimming, launching kayaks, or simply wading into the lake on a warm day. An aluminum dock is also included, making it easy to spend your days boating, fishing, or exploring the water. Inside, the camp embraces a modern rustic aesthetic with warm pine-paneled walls and a layout designed for connectivity. Wall-to-wall windows on the enclosed porch frame beautiful lake views while creating a favorite gathering place for morning coffee, afternoon board games, or quiet evenings watching the sunset. One bedroom and the full bathroom are conveniently located on the main floor, while there's two additional bedrooms upstairs - on with access to an incredible rooftop deck overlooking the water. Outside, an expansive brick patio extends your living space waterside, creating the perfect setting for grilling, outdoor dining, and evenings gathered around the firepit. Large waterfront lots are a coveted feature and this property doesn't disappoint- there's an acre here Move right in and start making memories. Substantial renovations to the interior and exterior of the home have been completed over the past two decades, and additional major improvements include a new septic system in 2014 and shoreland stabilization in 2017. Imagine yourself here...a place where children become swimmers, evenings end around the firepit, and summer traditions are passed from one generation to the next.
