Rare opportunity to own the Crown Jewel of Orono! This desirable Arts and Crafts is located a half mile from downtown and the Orono schools and four miles to UMaine. Imagine a night out walking to Pat's Pizza or Woodman's, and the Orono Riverwalk! Just a five minute walk to high school sports games! Built by Claude Noyes Builders, the seller's great grandfather, this beauty features imported woodwork, French doors, stone buttresses, and hardwood throughout. Original home blueprints included! This home is located on the site of the original Orono golf course, and the seller has also included a framed photo for the new owners. The price reflects the need for some basic repairs and modernizing. This bungalow has great bones and unlimited potential as it transitions to its new family.
