Where timeless New England character meets contemporary design, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath Cape offers over 2,000 square feet of living space on 1.96 private acres in Readfield. Classic cedar shingles, a white picket fence, and established lilacs and lilies create a charming first impression. An elegant stone entry opens to a flexible floor plan with hardwood floors throughout the main living areas and bedrooms. The showpiece is a vaulted contemporary addition, where expansive windows overlook the backyard and fill the space with natural light, while a wood-burning stove adds warmth and character. A warm, neutral palette creates a bright, cohesive interior, and two heat pumps, including one installed in 2024, provide efficient year-round comfort. The sunny kitchen pairs classic wainscoting and tile flooring with stainless steel appliances and reverse osmosis water filtration. A versatile den with a library and generous bonus room offer additional space for guests, a home office, hobbies, or expanded living. Outside, a spacious deck overlooks the fenced backyard, open meadows, and a wooded backdrop. An attached 2-car garage, second driveway, and storage shed add everyday convenience, while a backup generator can power nearly the entire home for added peace of mind during Maine winters. Enjoy peaceful country living close to Kents Hill School, Maranacook schools, and Readfield's public beach on Maranacook Lake, all just minutes from Manchester, Augusta, and Winthrop.
