Spectacular view, ultimate location. Picture living in a town with no red lights, while being about a mile from all the amenities including I-95, Walmart, shopping, parks, playgrounds, restaurants, boat launch, a 24-hour gym, recreation trail, and a library with a museum attached. Now imagine a house built like a fortress, with three bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and two separate living areas giving you real flexibility. Drift off to sleep to the sound of the rapids and wake up to breathtaking sunrises, then step onto one of two private balconies, one off the primary bedroom and one off a main living area, to watch the fish jump in the river below. Prefer to stay put? Two three-season sun porches give you the same view without leaving your seat. Your primary bedroom suite comes complete with a bath, walk-in closet, and its own private deck overlooking the Sebasticook River and Riverwalk Park. Like eagles? Enjoy birding, fishing, or just take in the abundance of wildlife along the secluded rocky coast, only feet from your back door. Inside, everything's ready to go: all newer appliances, plus a dedicated main-floor laundry room. Outside, a newer roof and newer siding keep things low-maintenance, and a fenced backyard adds privacy. Maine winters are covered too, with a brand-new furnace, a pellet stove, and three radiant propane wall heaters that keep running even when the power doesn't. Come see what river living actually looks like! Showings begin 9/12/2026. Zoning allows for conversion to a two-unit duplex, offering potential income or in-law living. Buyers should verify permitting requirements with the Town of Newport.
