An attached 2-car garage features expansive storage above, with an attic area offering potential for additional finished space. A separate 16x24 detached garage provides even more room for vehicles, recreational equipment, hobbies or a workshop. The grounds are a highlight, with open fields, colorful flower gardens, raspberries, blueberries, grapes, apple trees and fiddleheads. Wildlife is abundant, adding to the property's natural Maine setting.
