INVESTORS! PERFECT FOR 4 SEASON AIRbNb opportunity! Beautifully renovated 3BR/2BA post and beam Cape on 1 acre with 350' of private deeded water frontage situated on the Penobscot River. Thoughtfully updated by Snowcap Builders, the home features all new electrical and plumbing to code, a new kitchen and bathrooms, and a detailed list of improvements throughout. Original boards from the historic structure were reused in beams and woodwork, adding warmth and timeless character. The former deck was removed due to age, but the solid posts and underlying structure remain for a future rebuild.
Enjoy a peaceful waterfront setting with a beach area ideal for swimming and kayaking, plus established pear and plum trees and abundant berries in mixed sun and shade. Conveniently located near town, schools, UMaine, the hospital, and an easy commute to Bangor. Only 9 miles to the golf course. A charming, move-in-ready waterfront home in a prime Maine location.
