Property Description
Nestled on 1.57 peaceful acres just half a mile from downtown Orono, this 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers the perfect blend of tranquility and convenience—natural surroundings with walkable access to town, schools, and trails.
This is a true walking neighborhood—where it's easy to stroll downtown for coffee, bike to school, or head to the river for a swim. Nature and community are both right outside your door. Step into your backyard and connect directly to the Rampe Land Trust trail system, perfect for morning walks, dog runs, or quiet escapes into the woods. A short walk leads to the Stillwater River's beloved swimming spot or to local schools.
Lovingly maintained and thoughtfully updated, the home features a fully renovated kitchen, refreshed bathrooms, a new roof, and a spacious back deck—just a few highlights that reflect years of attentive care. The open layout offers a warm, welcoming flow that's perfect for everyday life and easy entertaining.
Located just two miles from the University of Maine, Orono is more than a charming town—it's a vibrant university community. Enjoy access to cultural events, athletic facilities, and a lively downtown scene. Families are drawn to its excellent public schools, strong community spirit, and rich local character.
If you're seeking a home with heart, in a place that values both connection and calm—this one is calling.
