Description

Enjoy year-round living on the shores of Forest Pond, where the home's elevated setting captures beautiful, tranquil water views. This inviting property features a bright, open-concept layout connecting the kitchen, dining, and living areas--ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. Step outside to a spacious deck, perfect for relaxing or hosting summer BBQs overlooking the water.
The main level provides a convenient first-floor bedroom and full bath, providing flexible living options. The assessor lists the home as a three-bedroom; however, one room has traditionally been used as a bonus space and does not have a door, making it well-suited for a den, office, or guest overflow.
The walk-out lower level expands your living space with two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom, with direct access to the backyard from one of the bedrooms--ideal for guests or extended stays. A large two-car attached garage provides ample storage and the convenience of keeping vehicles protected from winter weather.
Outside, enjoy all that waterfront living has to give with a well-designed docking system and a lakeside platform--perfect for sunbathing, swimming, or taking in peaceful sunset views.
Whether you're searching for a full-time residence or a seasonal getaway with potential for occasional rental income, this property delivers the best of both worlds. Conveniently located just minutes from West Cumberland, you'll have easy access to local favorites and quick connections to the highway for an easy commute.
A wonderful opportunity to enjoy waterfront living in every season.

  • Jeannine M.
    "Great area for kids and easy to get to Portland for nightlife or the Mountains for skiing. There's farmer's markets and maple sugar farms, and many deer. If you have kids this is a great place to live where they can ride bikes or play in the lake. "
  • Jess I.
    "Many of the people in my neighborhood enjoy the outdoors. We live on the Presumscot River so we have all kinds of wildlife, many enjoy water sports like kayaking, paddle boarding, boating, fishing, and you see them out and about. We also have close access to the Mt. Division trail which is great for everyone, including Fido, as long as they are on a leash. There are farmers markets, lots of shopping, restaurants and sea coast fun park. Just go 5miles up the road. Or the Highschool has sports fields, an outdoor track, a rock climbing wall inside through adult Ed I think? Windham is a great place to be."

  • zmbailey
    "If you don't have a car, do not move here. Air is relatively clean though."
  • Julie L. D.
    "I live two streets from Carmichael and love living so close to the lakes and less than twenty minutes to Portland! The schools are within a 5-7 minute drive and shopping is less than three miles down the road. You can avoid the traffic by taking the backroads, that lead into outer Washington Ave or travel down the road to enter the Maine Turnpike just down the street in Gray. I love listening to the loons on the lake, early Spring into the Fall, and it is always fun to watch the fireworks show on the lake July 4th, put on by neighbors all around the lake! With the snowmobile trails so close by, I can hop on my sled, ice fishing, ice skate, or boat all outside my front door! This is a great area to retire, or raise a family"
