Property Description
There aren't many opportunities to own an architect designed mid-century home in our marketplace but here it is! The home was designed by noted Bangor architect Eaton Tarbell and built in 1950. In 1990 another architect designed thoughtful additions which expanded the dining room, living room, master bedroom, and master bath. The big bonus here is the .83 acre park-like waterfront lot which offers expansive views of the Stillwater River. Imagine morning coffee or happy hour drinks overlooking all of this. The living room is very spacious with highlights to include hardwood floors, a fireplace, a wall of built-in bookshelves/ storage cabinets, and views through a wall of windows. The dining room also has hardwood floors in addition to original wood paneling and built-ins. The kitchen provides ample cabinet space and probably enough space for a small work island to be added. You won't want to leave the master bedroom with a master bath to keep you there. The bath is large and offers the rest and relaxation feature of an in-floor hot tub/spa. Enjoy that with a view of the yard and river through floor to ceiling windows. A metal dock with wood planks will also convey. University Place provides a tucked away neighborhood feel but is just a short walk to in-town Orono or UMaine. This home has been in the same family since 1976 and will be a showplace once again with your personal design inspiration and cosmetics. So much potential here to have a one of a kind property.
