Tucked among mature trees and bordering Dorothea Dix Park, this Hampden Colonial offers something that's becoming increasingly difficult to find--room to spread out, room to entertain, and room to simply enjoy where you live. Mornings begin in the sun-filled breakfast area overlooking the heated in-ground pool, while evenings naturally gather in the oversized family room, around the fireplace in the sitting room, or on the patio overlooking the pool. With over 3,100 square feet of living space, this home was designed for both everyday living and hosting family and friends. The kitchen serves as the heart of the home, featuring gorgeous granite countertops, Viking appliances, abundant cabinetry, and easy access to both formal and casual dining spaces. A formal dining room, formal living room, spacious family room, half bath, and attached two-car garage complete the main level. Upstairs are four generous bedrooms, including a primary suite with its own full bath and two separate walk-in closets. A second full bath serves the remaining bedrooms. Access to the basement from both the garage and interior of the home adds convenience and flexibility rarely appreciated until you have it. Outside, the setting truly shines. The heated pool creates a private summer retreat, while the parkland beyond the property provides a peaceful backdrop and a sense of space not often found in neighborhood living. Trails through Dorothea Dix Park lead toward the Penobscot River, offering a rare connection to nature right from your backyard. A newly paved driveway, meticulous maintenance, and thoughtful updates throughout reflect the pride of ownership evident in every corner of this home. Some homes check boxes. Others become the place everyone wants to gather. This is one of those homes.
