Property Description

There's something immediately inviting about this Orono bungalow. From the wide front steps where you can catch up with neighbors to the welcoming interior; it draws you in. Airy & light-filled rooms, combined with the craftsmanship of a golden era of construction, create a house that feels like home.The floor plan makes great use of nearly 1,000 sqft. Refinished wood floors and classic 2-paneled doors add character. The roughly 15X13 eat in kitchen is large with an open retro feel. Across the back, a 15X7 family room offers a casual place to relax, with the third bedroom just beyond.There's freedom in having the right amount of living space, leaving more time and resources to enjoy the property and Village offerings. A permanent staircase leads to an approx. 500 sqft attic already insulated, with subfloor and windows. It's unusual to have most of the groundwork already in place for future options.The basement adds versatility. Much of it is heated, with windows and walk out access, making it useful for hobbies, a workshop, gardening gear or recreational storage. Two distinctive wooden louvered doors bring unexpected character. A brand new furnace installed mid-August provides peace of mind.The deep lot extends farther behind the house than it first appears, with mature trees and room to garden. The railroad side also appears to offer a place for a future garage, subject to municipal approval and setbacks.Walk, bike, skate or drive. Orono is easy to enjoy from here. From elementary school through college, education stays close to home, while downtown, community events and the Penobscot are part of everyday life. Kayak the river, golf with clubs or discs, or head out on foot or bike. Spend less time getting somewhere and more time being there.A jewel box of a property with just the right amount of home for today and the potential to nearly double the finished space tomorrow if needed. Now that's living.
