Welcome to 246 Main St in Van Buren - a thoughtfully renovated farmhouse with 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, a spacious 2-car garage, and exceptional versatility. Conveniently located close to town on a level 0.48-acre lot, this property blends in-town convenience with space to enjoy.
Outside, enjoy a generous backyard, sizeable deck, and scenic setback views of the Saint John River. Recent improvements, including a new roof and added insulation, provide added comfort and peace of mind. The detached two-car garage and storage shed give ample space for vehicles, recreational equipment, hobbies, and projects.
Two inviting entry options welcome you home: a spacious mudroom/laundry area off the back deck or a bright, light-filled three-season porch--both ideal for storing boots, jackets, and outdoor gear.
Inside, the open-concept kitchen and dining area is a standout feature, enhanced by new flooring, a heat pump, and a spacious layout with room for a cozy sitting nook. An updated half bath just off the dining room adds everyday convenience.
The living room is warm and inviting, featuring beautiful wood floors, abundant natural light, and a wood-burning stove that creates the perfect atmosphere for gathering and relaxing.
Upstairs, you'll find three sizeable bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite complete with a full bath, and attached bonus room - ideal for a home office, nursery, or walk-in closet.
The unfinished attic provides excellent storage or future potential as a game room, while the basement adds even more storage space. With multiple heating options including HWBB, heat pump, and wood stove, this home boasts both charm and practicality. Meticulously maintained and located near ATV and snowmobile trail access, this is a wonderful opportunity to make this special property your next home!
