An ideal starter home, retirement home, or vacation getaway, this amazingly energy-efficient ranch is located just a few minutes' walk from the Village of Belgrade Lakes, offering the perfect combination of convenience, outdoor recreation, and relaxed Maine living. The village itself offers an array of local attractions, including the famous Day's Store, a wonderful Sunday farmers market, and weekly summer concerts in the park, while just a 20 minute drive from the vibrant city of Augusta. Inside, you'll love the spacious, open layout, creating an inviting flow between the living areas and providing plenty of room to gather with family and friends. The home is super-insulated, and heating needs are impressively modest, with approximately ¾ of a tank of oil and 3-4 cords of wood used annually. The spacious, dry basement offers plenty of storage and lots of possibilities for the future. Imagine creating a cozy recreation room, home gym, workshop, office, or additional finished living space to suit your needs. A large entryway mudroom, conveniently attached to a two-car garage, provides versatile space for coats and boots, additional storage, or even a dedicated workshop area. Step outside and enjoy the newer deck and above-ground pool, perfect for summer afternoons, while a second large deck provides plenty of room for gatherings, morning coffee, and evening sunsets. And then there are the lakes! With easy access to multiple public lake access points throughout the greater Belgrade Lakes region, it's easy to spend your days boating, fishing, swimming, kayaking, or simply enjoying the beauty of Maine's lakes.
