274 Rabbit Rd, Durham, ME 04222

Meticulously cared for by one owner, this contemporary saltbox home on 7.42 acres offers 3 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, an in-ground pool and great entertaining spaces. A striking stone center-chimney fireplace anchors the open concept living room which has a cathedral ceiling, hardwood floors and views of the deck, pool, lawn and fields beyond. Generous-sized kitchen with granite counters, slate tile floor, and walk-in pantry currently used as an office. Separate dining room conveniently located between the kitchen and living room. The walnut-stained oak/black metal staircase- ahead of its time with a ''Magnolia Homes'' modern farmhouse vibe- leads up to the primary bedroom suite with bathroom and walk-in closet. The airy, lofted hallway leads to another full bathroom and two additional bedrooms. Take the lower staircase down from the living room to the finished, daylight basement and you'll find a spacious family room with a wood stove and a built-in bar with sink and beverage cooler. The family room overlooks a screened porch with stone fireplace/bbq leading directly to the very private patio with swimming pool. Also on the lower level are a full bathroom/laundry and a bonus room for guests/den/office. A new and enlarged 4BR septic system was installed in 2016. Other amenities include a central vacuum system, 2-car garage with walk-up storage above, a wood shed and even a clothesline. Need more acreage? The abutting 4.3 acre lot- for a total of 11.72 acres- is already separately deeded and is negotiable. This extra lot makes it easy to build a neighboring dwelling, add a barn with living space above it, or preserve the land for the future. The property is level and largely open, presenting an excellent opportunity to accommodate horses or other animals. All this, less than 30 minutes to Portland, 20 minutes to Lewiston/Auburn, and 45 minutes to Augusta. Come and see!
