Vacationland Retreat! Newly renovated, luxurious, 3 bedroom/3 bathroom, waterfront house located in the center of Southern Maine's Lakes and Mountains region, offers more adventure than you can fit into one lifetime! Perfect for all families. This house is one of only a handful on the picturesque pond. You will have your own, private, shalow lake entry, private wooden dock to use and a floating dock (with built-in loungers!) to swim to, and sunbathe on! Our pristine pond is ideal for swimming, paddle boarding, kayaking, fishing and more. It is small enough that big boats (over 6 HP) are not allowed. That means your peace and quiet won't be interrupted by loud, busy boat traffic typical of large lakes. The architectural charm of arts and crafts of this bungalow opens into a relaxing, modern oasis. An open floor plan means easy conversation whether you are cooking, entertaining, or reading one of our many books by the gas fireplace. First floor: Primary suite with water views, brand new, gorgeous "lighthouse oak'' hardwood look-alike floors, and en-suite bathroom with shower, tub, and double granite vanity. Guest room also has water views, and brand new ''lighthouse oak'' floors. A full bathroom with granite counter tops and a shower off the adjacent hallway. Each bedroom features dresser, hamper, and many hangers for your convenience. Hallway closet features stackable washer/dryer with folding area. Fully equipped chef's kitchen is flooded with light from windows and a skylight. Granite counter tops include eat-in breakfast bar and separate dry bar, perfect for pouring cocktails or setting up your charging stations. Dining room has seating for 8 people. The main entry leads to a roomy foyer with oversized windows to pull your focus to the water views that continue onto a back deck. Custom woodwork on the banister-a showpiece. Second floor: Kids bedroom with 4 twin beds, desk equipped with all you need to keep your kids occupied and off-screen (crayons, markers, pencils, glue sticks, safe scissors, drawing paper, etc), and two bookcases filled with wonderful children’s books. A sizeable landing turned into playroom, with additional twin size day bed, sitting area, large smart TV, Wi-Fi, several cabinets filled with brand new or like-new puzzles, board games, family games, playing cards, Magformers, Duplo blocks, Me Reader books, and Read-Along CD books with CD-player. Adjacent full bathroom with shower. All new, insulated, soft carpeting. Since we have children of our own, we are particularly focused on providing a family-friendly experience. We have plethora of lawn games to use on our beautifully designed front and back yards: Soccer ball with two goals, 4-people Badminton set with a foldable net, Basketball with a full-size free-standing basketball hoop, Hammock, Slip-and-Slide, Cornhole Game Set with 8 bean bags, Beamo, Toss and Catch, Paddle Ball Set, Pop-Pass-Catch Game with 4 Catch Launcher Baskets, Bubbles, Mini Scooters and more. There is a brand-new Webber grill right outside the Dining Room sliding doors for your cooking convenience, and a fire pit in the backyard for you to unwind and relax. The back deck is perfect to hide away with a good book or enjoy your morning coffee with the view. To enjoy the wooden dock and your private waterfront we have beach chairs and beach towels. The property includes plenty of trees and boulders to climb, and is surrounded by woods, streams, and ponds waiting to be explored. The closest walking trail through Perley Mills Community Forest starts 1/2 mile from our property and runs through the narrow gauge track for 3 miles. Snowmobile paths continue on at either end for miles. There is also a 4-mile, moderately hilly, biking trail along Walden Pond and Hancock Pond, right outside our property. Several ATV trails also cut through the nearby forests.
