About This Home
Back on the market for the 2026 season with a new price well-below the current town assessment and with a 'pending' new septic design, based on the older status of the existing system. Contemporary Merrymeeting Lake Ranch on a sloping lot with 102' of southwest exposure on Pleasant Cove. This 2-bedroom Ranch has many memories for the Sellers. There is a hardwood oak floor in the open concept kitchen, dining area, and living room. A brick wood-burning fireplace adds warmth in the living room. The 2-level sunroom addition is accessed from the living room, and features a bonus room in the basement level. When you turn into the driveway there is an expanded parking area; the Sellers made occasional visits in the wintertime, by parking off North Shore Road and walking down to their Cottage. There is currently a large deck attached in front with access from either the dining area or the sunroom. Enjoy afternoon sun and lake views from the deck. You will find a wooden deck at the shorefront which is ideal for launching your kayaks and paddleboards. The gradual sandy shoreline on the sunny side of the cove is ideal for swimming. A seasonal dock could be situated close to the left corner of the shoreline where the water is deeper. Store your boating supplies in the lakeside shed. There are many newer homes in the Pleasant Cove neighborhood. This location and home may fill the needs of your family. Sign on property!
