This lovely lakeside home features three bedrooms and sleeps seven comfortably. There is a large open living room overlooking the lake with a parlor propane stove in the corner and a dining area leading out to the upper deck. The spacious kitchen has a gas stove top, an electric oven, a microwave, a free-standing island, and is fully loaded with all the cooking equipment you'll need. The master bedroom on the first floor sports a king-sized bed and a direct entry to the upper deck. The master bath is newly-renovated, with a tub/shower combination. Upstairs are two more bedrooms containing two queen-size beds and a single, with another bathroom between them.

This home comes with air conditioning (yes, occasionally even desired in Maine!), cable, and wi-fi. The upper deck just outside the dining area connects to a lower deck, which is practically on the water. From there it's a few steps to the dock, where you can jump in or launch the two kayaks provided.

Many people think of a "pond" as being a small swimming hole. But Taylor Pond is a pristine Maine lake about a mile and a half long and three quarters of a mile wide. It's big enough for swimming, boating and fishing, but small enough to be not crowded with large motor boats or jet skis. Although you'll feel like you're "away from it all" here, you are only 10 minutes away from local shopping, cinema, golf and mini-golf. Also within easy reach are restaurants of every variety, from fast-food to elegant. The Bates College campus is also only 10 minutes away. Come enjoy the best of both worlds!
