Situated directly across the street from China Lake and perched on 8 acres, this 6-bedroom (3-bedroom septic) home feels like a retreat. Pristine floors, recessed lighting, and abundant natural light set the tone inside. The kitchen & dining area are perfect for chatting while cooking, with a gas stove, ample counter + cabinet space, and an island with storage and seating. Movie nights, arts & crafts, homework, or playdates? Take your pick from cozying up near the living room's fireplace or in the spacious family/bonus room, complete with a woodstove hookup and French doors leading directly outside. Happy houseplants and boosted moods are a sure thing in the sun room; the mudroom's built-in cubbies welcome coats & keys. A full bathroom/laundry room rounds out the main floor. Upstairs, four serene bedrooms and a second full bathroom are ready for recharging after a busy day. Home office and fitness endeavors are a sure thing in two additional bedrooms/multi-use rooms located above the family room. Need more space to store your stuff? The basement and detached 2-car garage deliver. Outside, a big, beautiful yard and eight acres of land provide an endless supply of fresh air and fun. China is a warm & welcoming community that overflows with natural beauty. You'll adore swimming and ice skating on China Lake, and strolling through 'story walks' in the Community Forest at China School ('China School's Forest'). Just far enough from the bustle, but close enough for a bite in Waterville or Augusta, with Hannaford a mere 10 minutes away for your essentials. Come take a look!
