About This Home

Tucked at the end of a quiet, dead-end street in a suburban Lewiston neighborhood, this move-in ready home is the kind of privacy that's hard to find this close to everything. As the last house on the street, there's no through traffic, just peace and quiet on 0.23 acres. One-floor living means no stairs to worry about, whether you're settling in for the long haul or just want the ease of single-level convenience. The kitchen is the surprise, roughly 16 by 14 feet and the largest room in the house, bigger than the living room, which almost never happens in a ranch this size. One of the three bedrooms is almost perfectly square, which makes furniture placement easier than the numbers suggest. A one-car garage rounds out a layout built for real life, and the full walk-out basement runs the same footprint as the home above it, unfinished and ready to become whatever you need. The practical details hold up too. Public water and public sewer mean no well to test and no septic to pump. Vinyl siding, a shingle roof, and a poured concrete foundation keep the maintenance list short. Oil baseboard and radiator heat, with the water heater running off the system. The refrigerator, electric range, washer, and dryer all stay. Outside, a paved driveway handles several vehicles and the yard opens to a wooded edge at the back. Location seals the deal, and this one delivers on every front. Grab coffee or run errands on Lisbon Street in downtown Lewiston in just 10 minutes. Quick access to I-95 puts road trips, commutes, and weekend getaways within easy reach. Head into Augusta in about 30 minutes, or make the 45-minute commute into Portland when the city calls. Ski season lover? Sunday River is just over an hour away, making this home a genuine four-season basecamp. Whether you're commuting to the city, heading north to the mountains, or just want to be close to everything without giving up your quiet corner of the world, this home puts you right where you need to be.
