An optical illusion! This house sits on a tree-lined in-town neighborhood street & seems like an average sized, compact ranch when viewed from the street, but it is so much more. When you go inside you see the generous proportions of the rooms, the polished wood floors throughout, and the craftsmanship of this well-made home. Two large bedrooms, each with 2 closets, and a small bonus room in the dormered finished attic space provide space for you & overnight guests. There is a pantry closet in the kitchen, a coat closet at the front door, and built-in storage for linens, towels and blankets. A sliding glass door brings you to a fenced back yard for your pet to romp in & a small patio area for an outdoor table and grill. Upstairs is a room for crafts, exercise, storage, or extra sleeping space. The one car garage with automatic garage door opener is attached. Outside are raised beds containing rich, organic soil, a bountiful apple tree, and mature ornamental shrubs, perennials & trees. A small shed adjacent to the patio makes great winter storage for outdoor furniture, a lawn mower, or gardening supplies. From the open front porch you can hear the birds singing & enjoy iced tea or lunch with friends. Best of all, this property is located just a block from the center of town which includes a bank, a grocery store, the Searsport Marine Museum, and a restaurant. Public ocean access to the rocky shore of Penobscot Bay is about a half mile away at the edge of the large grassy municipal park. Come take a look! It may be just what you have been looking for.

10 Ricker Hill Road Jackson, ME 04921

1 Bed

Located at nearly the end of a well maintained gravel road and surrounded by woods, this custom-built home offers exceptional privacy on 5 peaceful acres. This retreat-like setting is just a half hour from coastal amenities or 45 minutes from Bangor's job opportunities. The 2-car garage offers space for a workbench & storage for your recreational equipment in addition to your vehicles. With ATV and snowmobile trail access nearby you can ride to nearby towns off-road from your own home. A spacious mud room inside provides a practical transition after enjoying the surrounding land, and inside is a welcoming kitchen with hand made butcher block cutting board & a wood burning stove on a hearth generally used for back-up heat. Heat is provided primarily by a new Rinnai propane wall heater with a thermostat & an electrical wall heater in the bathroom. The upstairs bedroom was designed with space-saving built-ins, a closet, dresser, and storage space that requires less room than furniture would need. A well placed window in the bedroom allows you to gaze at the moon and stars in the winter and treetops in the warmer months as you drift off to sleep or wake in the morning. The living room has built-in cabinets and shelving, as well. The home and garage were built and diligently maintained over the years by the seller. It offers practical living space suitable as a year-round home, a weekend get-away, or as a basecamp for recreational adventures. Ricker Hill Road is a private road not maintained by the town of Jackson. Instead, the 6 landowners who abut the road have joined together to plan, improve, and pay for care of the road themselves. Grading in the spring, snowplowing in the winter, and gravel replacement after a storm cost each landowner between 500 to 600 per year. This is a great opportunity to own a quiet piece of Maine!
