Classic Maine farmhouse with over 5 acres of land and roughly 300 feet of waterfrontage at the head of Merrymeeting Bay, on the Kennebec River. Located in the heart of Bowdoinham's pastoral farming region, this charming home blends historic character with comfortable living. The first floor includes a large kitchen; dining area; living room; family room; and two full bathrooms. Additional features on this level include a mudroom with laundry area, and two versatile bonus rooms, ideal for home offices, guest space, or hobbies. A formal front staircase leads to three bedrooms on the second floor, including a third/back bedroom that can also be accessed via a back staircase, offering flexible use and a touch of New England architectural tradition. The attached barn offers space to store the recreational water vessels and bicycles you'll need to enjoy all the outdoor activities that the Maine coast has to offer. Enjoy the comfort and convenience of a heat pump or heat with the traditional wood stove. Launch your kayaks, canoes, and paddleboards from the shore and enjoy exploring the Bay, or one of the six rivers flow into it. Merrymeeting Bay is one of the largest and most important freshwater and tidal ecosystems in the country-it is truly natural wonder. Bowdoinham is a convivial and thriving community with plans underway to implement a Waterfront Redevelopment Plan to include a park and trail system in the village on twenty-acres that has about 1,500 feet of frontage on the Cathance River. Sidewalks throughout the village lead to the Community School; Town Hall & Library; local pub; public boat landing; art gallery; art center; and a waterfront park where free weekly concerts, and Farmer's Markets take place during the summer. Live here and enjoy the best of both worlds: rural Maine living, and a convenient location only 40 minutes to Portland; 20 minutes to Brunswick; 30 minutes to Augusta; and 30 minutes to L/A. Very special. (The land may not be divided.)
