Welcome to the little red bungalow you've been dreaming about. Perched proudly on a gentle rise in the heart of Alfred, this fully renovated home blends postcard-worthy charm with everyday practicality. Whether you're looking for a first home, a low-maintenance retreat, or a base for your next chapter, 51 Sanford Road delivers. Set on 1.69 acres, the property feels like your own private park—complete with a freshly expanded lawn, mature trees, and topography that invites exploration. Out back, town-owned land adds privacy and peace of mind. The oversized driveway provides abundant parking, perfect for work trucks, guests, or future projects. Inside, rustic meets refined with warm pine walls and ceilings, updated flooring, and a cozy Maine cabin vibe throughout. The main level features a tastefully renovated kitchen and bathroom, while upstairs offers a classic bedroom and an open loft-style sleeping area—ideal for guests, a reading nook, or creative space. With public water, a brand-new two-bedroom septic, updated electrical and plumbing, and a freshly serviced forced hot water heating system, this home is truly move-in ready. And with over 590 feet of frontage on Route 202/111, commuting to lakes, beaches, or the southern Maine coast is effortless. People love Alfred for its small-town charm, strong sense of community, and beautiful mix of farmland, forest, and history. Just 20 minutes to Biddeford, 35 minutes to Portland, and under 90 minutes to Boston—this is the sweet spot between peaceful and practical. Turnkey. Timeless. Totally charming. Your Maine lifestyle begins here. Open House Sunday 8/3 1:00-3:00pm
