Listing Description

You will find this custom modified and updated Cape, in the very heart of Bowdoinham's charming village, to be a perfect blend of small-town warmth and everyday convenience! Located just half a mile from the the newly reopened Bowdoinham Country Store, the neighborhood pub, and amazing waterfront parks, this home offers the best of life in a close-knit, community-focused, setting.

With the nearby towns of Brunswick and Topsham just 10 miles away, and Portland, Lewiston, and Augusta all within a 30-minute drive, you can experience a wonderful ease of access to all kinds of amenities without living in the middle of them! A covered and welcoming farmer's porch, second-floor rear deck, and spacious family room complement the fou

r bedrooms (one on the first floor next to a full bath), two full baths, cozy living room, and efficient kitchen so the floor plan easily accommodates both lively gatherings and peaceful retreats. Modern systems ensure comfort year-round: 4 heat pump heads carry the load for heating and cooling for both floors and a first-floor Rinnai heater provid

es extra, and efficient, warmth while the field-stone foundation naturally maintains ground warmth to prevent winter pipe issues. The property offers town water, and a recently inspected private septic system. An on-demand generator guarantees uninterrupted power during storm-related outages.

A highlight of the property is the two-story garage, equipped with its own heat source—ideal for a workshop, art studio, working from home, or potential apartment conversion. An additional shed offers extra storage or a charming summer play space. The expansive yard invites outdoor enjoyment, with ample space for play, gardening, and appreciating perennial plantings and mature trees.

Seasonal river views grace the property from late fall through early spring when the leaves have fallen. Keep a boat or kayak at Mailly Park, and enjoy country living! Dot Ollier
