31 Westbranch RoadCumberland, ME 04021Price: $895,000

Two wooded acres, a backyard built for long Maine summers, and nearly 2,800 square feet in Cumberland set the stage at 31 Westbranch Road. The house is a classic Colonial, but the floor plan goes well beyond the expected. The kitchen has a large center island, walk-in pantry, and direct access to the deck, with the dining room and fireside living room close by. A dedicated office provides separation for working from home, while the mudroom offers the storage that Maine living demands. Upstairs, four bedrooms include a primary suite with its own bath, plus a full hall bath and separate laundry room. The bonus room above the two-car garage is substantial enough to take on a life of its own, whether as a media room, studio, gym, or space for guests. A full daylight basement with walkout access offers another entire level for future plans. And then there is the backyard - the lawn stretches out behind the house before meeting the surrounding woods, with hydrangeas and established gardens softening the edges. A broad deck sits just off the kitchen, while a stone patio and firepit farther into the yard create a second place to gather as the day winds down. It all feels comfortably removed, yet Cumberland Center, Val Halla, everyday shopping, and access to Portland are close at hand.
