Whether you're looking to downsize, purchase your first home, or find the perfect cozy retreat, 261 Merrill is ready for your next chapter! Full of storybook charm, this inviting home offers the perfect blend of peaceful country living and everyday convenience.
Imagine curling up by the woodstove as snow falls outside, tending your gardens and picking wild blackberries in the warmer months, or sipping your morning coffee on the oversized deck while enjoying the beautiful autumn foliage.
Situated on over an acre as the second-to-last home on a quiet dead-end road, the property offers wonderful privacy, surrounded by undeveloped land and plenty of room to spread out. There's even space for a little homesteading! A large detached garage provides room for a small vehicle or abundant storage.
Inside, rustic exposed beams, soaring ceilings, and bright skylights create a warm, airy atmosphere. The first-floor bedroom includes a closet with a stackable washer and dryer, while the bathroom features a tub/shower combination and a beautiful skylight overhead. The cheerful kitchen is well equipped with a gas range, dishwasher, and newer refrigerator.
Upstairs, a sun-drenched, full-height loft offers incredible flexibility as a second sleeping area, creative studio, home office, or additional living space. A generous walk-in closet provides excellent storage, making this cozy home as practical as it is charming.
Enjoy the tranquility of rural living without sacrificing convenience, just 10 minutes from Forage Café, 30 minutes to Augusta, and less than an hour to Portland or Brunswick.
If you've been dreaming of a simpler, quieter lifestyle with room to breathe, 261 Merrill might just be the perfect place to call home!
