About this property

Classy AF Home Steps from Colby and Trails

Lovingly renovated three bedroom home across the street from Colby College’s Senior Drive and Campus Trails. My husband’s grandfather built our house in the 40’s, we have done all of the renovations ourselves to create open, inviting spaces with unique touches while maintaining the original footprint.

From original hardwood floors, handmade glass tiles and knobs throughout the house to a custom built bathroom with radiant floor heating and a luxurious shower, our home is a labor of love.

Kitchen: new refrigerator, dishwasher and gas stove, granite countertops, garbage disposal, breakfast bar, USB outlets, handmade cabinetry, and custom backsplash all provide an enjoyable workspace to entertain. Recycling and Returnable bins are available and labeled. We don’t own a microwave. Feel free to use anything that is around.

Dining/Living Room: we removed a wall (the footprint remains with different types of flooring) and love the open floor plan it provides. The TV can turn it on the wall mount to keep you company anywhere downstairs. Please read French door instructions if you use them, they use a different locking system.

Bedrooms: our home offers three bedrooms. The master looks out on the front yard with a queen bed and 32”smart tv. The second features a back yard view and a king bed. “The kid’s room” has a back yard view and a queen futon.

Bathroom: Radiant floor heating, custom shower, and a Bluetooth speaker for shower singing will give your day a boost.

Sunroom/Entryway: this area is a work in progress, we use it for a lot of things depending on the time of year but it functions as a mud room year round.

Hall closet: we know it’s weird right now, it’s a work in progress. The toilet is totally functional and provides a .25 bath downstairs if you’d like to use it.

Basement: the washer/dryer are located downstairs. We also use this space for personal storage, but laundry facilities are accessible.

Outside: feel free to enjoy our large yard with family/friends. We love to garden and when the time is right, our beds provide a delicious, fresh summer meal. The garden is automatically watered in the morning and evening. Please harvest only what you will use and don’t forget all the herbs on the side of the garage! We prefer any flowers be left alone, please don’t cut them.

Our home uses well water that runs through a filter and a softener.

Charming
Clean and convenient. It had everything we needed. Internet worked well, which was key to get some work done. Two of the three doors didn’t work, so that could be an issue if needing to exit in emergency with one option. Otherwise, very pleased.
