About This Home

Comfort, flexibility & privacy come together in this 4-bedroom Cape with a separate studio apartment in one of Bucksport's most convenient in-town neighborhoods. The property features 2,440± sq. ft., while the attached heated two-car garage is topped by a studio apartment with its own private entrance. This is far more than a typical 4-bedroom home. Whether for extended family, guests, a home office or creative studio, this property provides flexibility rarely found in an in-town setting. Located a stone's throw from Bucksport High School & minutes from downtown, the waterfront, shopping, restaurants & everyday amenities, you'll enjoy the convenience of town while coming home to a peaceful, private wooded setting. Inside, the freshly painted home features a bright, functional layout. The kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, gas range, ample cabinetry & a center peninsula that's perfect for gathering. Heat pumps in the living room & second-floor primary bedroom provide year-round comfort. Just off the kitchen, the bright enclosed sunroom features a cathedral tongue-and-groove ceiling & walls of windows overlooking the backyard, creating a comfortable place to relax year-round. Upstairs, the spacious primary bedroom shares a Jack-and-Jill bath with two additional bedrooms, while a fourth bedroom & full bath on the first floor provide flexibility for guests, a home office or one-level living. The attached two-car garage is heated with radiant heat. Above, the studio apartment features a full bath, mini-split & private entrance--ideal for extended family, guests, a home office or creative space. Outside, mature trees & open clearings create a backyard that feels tucked away while still close to downtown Bucksport, schools & everyday conveniences. Public water & sewer, a new roof in 2022, thoughtful updates & a private wooded setting complete this exceptional property.
