Light, river frontage, and a workshop you can drive into. This saltbox is built into the hillside above the Sheepscot, angled across open fields and thick woods to catch the sun. The kitchen, living room and second floor hallway have just been repainted in a light grey that lifts the whole first floor against the natural pine and the maple floors. A 12'x32' four season sunroom faces southwest and helps carry the house through a Maine winter on solar gain.
The open concept first floor holds a large living room and an updated kitchen with new countertops, with direct entry from the attached 2-car garage. Upstairs, the primary bedroom opens into a full bath, with two more bedrooms down the hall.
The workspace is the rare part. A backyard ramp gives drive-up access to a full second floor with barn door entry, built to take tractors, ATVs and heavy equipment alongside recreational gear and storage. Below the house, a walkout basement behind a full-width garage door makes a serious year-round workshop, with real potential to finish as additional living space.
Outside there is 343 feet of Sheepscot River frontage for fishing or a summer swim, a small pond in the field suited to horses or other farm animals, a woodshed and a second outbuilding.
This home has been pre-inspected, so the condition is on the table before you write an offer rather than after. Recent work: fresh light grey paint in the kitchen, living room and second floor hallway, interior painted throughout, new upstairs flooring, remodeled bathroom, new countertops, stained exterior siding with freshly painted trim, new fence, LED lighting throughout, ceiling fans in the sunroom, and updated electrical outlets. New refrigerator, washer and dryer in 2025. New leach field installed and septic tank pumped.
Close to both Augusta and the Midcoast. VA loan may be assumable at a below-market interest rate.
