Property Description
Nestled on nearly 7.5 acres in Palmyra, Maine, this custom-built, saltbox style home, offers a true retreat with the perfect mix of charm, comfort, and convenience. Just 8 miles from I-95, shopping, necessities, and local eateries-only 5 miles from the golf course, just under 9 miles to launch your boat, close to ITS 84-you can enjoy the best of both worlds: peaceful country living with easy access to town and all of your recreation needs. Inside, the heart of the home is the stunning floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. Imagine cozy winter evenings gathered around the wood-burning fire, the glow of the flames reflecting off the rich wood beams and tongue-and-groove pine that accent the soaring cathedral ceiling. The oak stairway and balcony add timeless craftsmanship, while the open and bright living area flows seamlessly onto a spacious deck. Summer days are made for relaxing here. Enjoy your morning coffee in the kitchen's cozy breakfast nook, then step outside to the covered pavilion where the sit-up bar overlooks the sparkling 30' above-ground pool. Friends and family will love gathering here for backyard barbecues, evenings around the fire pit, or simply strolling the grounds lined with mature trees, fruit trees, and colorful perennials. With 2+ bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, the layout is comfortable and flexible. For hobbies, work, and all of your BIG toy storage, you'll find space for it all: a detached 3+ bay garage with 1 designated bay with a heated workshop, an attached 2+ bay garage with oversized door, and an additional carport. Extras like a hot tub hookup, whole-home generator, and fenced area for pets add to the lifestyle this property provides. Lovingly maintained and updated over the years with countless improvements (see full list), this home is more than a place to live-it's a place to enjoy every season, every gathering, and every moment. This one will not last! Call me today to set up your private tour.
