1 Saco Island Terrace, Unit 101Saco, ME 04072Price: $347,000

This rare end unit is among the largest two-bedroom designs at Saco Island Terrace, and features a laundry hook-up right in the unit! From this lofty, converted brick mill, your oversized windows frame the Saco River rolling right through the heart of town. Updated for low-maintenance living, this unit comes with heat and air conditioning all rolled into the monthly fee! Inside you'll find a kitchen with contemporary cabinetry, granite countertops, many new appliances including water heater and disposal, plus easy-care flooring, in a loft-style layout. This gorgeous, open space ends with a warm, brick wall, whose big windows give big views of the river, the RiverWalk, and the historic cityscape beyond. A half bath complements this level. Upstairs, the front bedroom also looks out over the river, and features a fantastic walk-in closet. And the second bedroom is much larger than most in this building. This level is served by a freshly updated full bath, and huge linen closet. The unit has convenient proximity to the HOA laundry, as well as a bonus building entry (currently under construction off the laundry room). Outside your door, you'll find a deli, brew-pub, spa, and other businesses enlivening the historic mill complex, alongside the RiverWalk footpath--and a parking space that you never have to shovel! (Additional parking spots may be available for lease.) The Amtrak station is a short walk away, as are the compact and thriving downtowns of both Saco and Biddeford. Gorgeous beaches abound just south of here, and Portland is only 25 minutes up the road. Heat, AC, and water are all included in the fee; two cats are permitted; and renting is allowed with a six month minimum. New water heater, all appliances are new or recent. Come see where easy living meets a stunning location! The homeowner association recently completed a proactive budget analysis to prevent financial surprises. HOA structure favors a portfolio mortgage or cash. Motivated seller!
