What's special
WATERFRONT, ACREAGE and MOVE-IN READY. Truly unique home and property with a great price. A Maine retreat with river access. Set on 20.5 wooded acres with trails to explore, you can follow a natural path to approximately 500 feet of frontage on the Muddy River. Inside, the home features spacious, sun-filled rooms with passive solar advantages and a warm, inviting layout designed for comfort and everyday living. The kitchen has been completely redone and provides modern amenities and new appliances. Original hardwood floors throughout that shine with beauty and character. The home has been repainted in almost all the rooms including ceiling and woodwork, and the bathrooms have had updates and most of the lighting has been replaced. The backyard is peaceful with new walkways and patio. One of the unique features is the vintage movie theatre, which is a great space for entertaining, relaxing, and hosting family and friends. A major bonus is the 20' x 16' heated shed with electricity, offering year-round flexibility as a workshop, studio, home office, gym, hobby space or car storage. With river frontage and navigable access to the bay and ocean, you can spend your days kayaking, fishing, exploring quiet coves, or heading out for an afternoon on the water. The route accommodates boats up to approximately 21 feet with the installation of the new bridge. Local Amenities: Merrymeeting Bay, Brunswick Maine Street, Bowdoin College, 45 Mins from Boothbay Harbor, 30 Mins from Portland, 30 mins from Augusta. A one-of-a-kind opportunity to own a private escape with land, water frontage, and unique character. House can potentially be sold with less acreage.
