Every detail of this ranch home tells a story of craftsmanship and thoughtful design. Built in 1950 with all the trend-setting features of its era- timeless style and functionality for modern living. There's vintage charm at every turn—twin glass-front cabinets in the dining room, arched doorways, display niches, in-wall ironing board, cedar storage closet and even the original milk delivery door. The inviting living room features a classic wood-burning fireplace and abundant natural light. The tastefully renovated eat-in kitchen shines with s/s appliances and woodgrain tile flooring. An adjacent den offers potential as an office or playroom. Down the hall you'll find the bedrooms & full bathroom, ideally tucked away from the hubbub of the main living areas. A sunroom-style breezeway connects the house to the two-car attached garage, providing must-have mudroom space. Outdoor living awaits on the massive backyard deck overlooking the huge, fenced backyard. Situated on an oversized corner lot, this property includes a rare additional parcel on Sunset Dr—an uncommon find in Orono, providing endless possibilities for gardening, play, or even an additional dwelling unit. Recent updates include a high-efficiency natural gas boiler, underground electrical with a quick-connect generator plug, and 50-year architectural shingles installed in 2023. New plush carpeting makes it easy to move in and just start enjoying your new home. The basement offers plenty of storage and a head start on future expansion with its own heating zone and partially finished space. The unbeatable location is just minutes from University of Maine - quick access to campus events, downtown shops & dining, as well as the scenic Stillwater River. This home is a testament to an era when houses were built to last. The next owner will have the unique opportunity to embrace its history while making it their own.
