This four-season waterfront home on Sennebec Pond sits on 60 feet of owned frontage in Appleton. Evenings here steal the show: watch the sunset from your deck, the water's edge, or right from your living room. Days are just as good: a natural beach with gradual access and a floating dock make it easy to swim, paddle, boat out on the Sennebec, cast a line, or take in the loons and birds going by. Inside, the home is more spacious than it first appears. The living room's vaulted ceilings open the space up and look right out over the lake. Two oversized bedrooms and two full baths give real comfort for family and friends. A lofted bonus space adds a flexible third area for an office, guest room, or studio, and a walk-out basement adds room to grow into for hobbies or storage. Winter turns the pond into its own backyard: ice fishing, cross-country skiing, and skating are all just steps from the door, though the lake and lane get a little quieter this time of year. A one-car garage and outbuilding keep boats, skis, and gear organized between seasons. Move-in ready and tucked away on a quiet lane, this can be your weekend getaway or a year-round home built around the water and the seasons. Sennebec Pond is ready to welcome you home.
