Description

Welcome to an exceptional property that perfectly blends modern comfort with natural beauty. This updated contemporary ranch sits on 17 acres, creating a private oasis just minutes from both Bangor and Orono.

Step onto the welcoming porch and into an open-concept living space that seamlessly connects the living room, dining area, and kitchen with a center island—ideal for everyday living and entertaining. The first-floor primary suite is a true retreat, featuring a spacious dressing room, double vanity bath, and picture windows with stunning backyard views that bring the outdoors in.

Upstairs, you'll find three additional bedrooms with generous closets, a full bathroom with jacuzzi tub and makeup table, and a cozy sitting area—perfect for family or guests. The finished basement expands the living space with a warm wood stove, another bathroom, and a workshop with walkout access. Thoughtful details throughout include a magnetic wall for showcasing photos, a half bath and laundry room between the garage and living area, and a utility tub that doubles as a pet bath.

Practical spaces abound with a 2-car attached garage plus a detached 2-car garage for extra storage or hobbies. Outside, a concrete path winds towards the woods, inviting you to explore your own private sanctuary.

Outdoor enthusiasts will love the easy access to Bangor City Forest trails and nearby Pushaw Lake, where fishing, boating, and recreation await.

    "The Orono High School was rated 9th in the State of Maine by US News & Word Report. Orono is also home to the University of Maine which is a terrific resource for the towns people including their New Balance athletic facility. There is nothing like having access to all a College town has to offer. "
