Welcome to this beautifully renovated 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom ranch nestled on 2.8 peaceful acres in the heart of Carmel, Maine. Completely gutted and renovated just two years ago, this 1,012-square-foot home offers the rare combination of modern updates and small-town Maine charm — everything from top to bottom is brand new. Step outside onto the stunning wraparound cedar porch, the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee or unwind at sunset while taking in the privacy of your wooded 2.8-acre lot. Inside, you'll find fresh, move-in-ready finishes throughout, with an efficient single-level layout ideal for first-time buyers, downsizers, or anyone seeking low-maintenance living. The full, unfinished basement provides excellent storage and expansion potential, while the expansive acreage offers room to add a garage or outbuildings down the road. Located in the heart of Carmel, this property blends quiet, rural surroundings with easy access to local amenities — a perfect setting for buyers looking for a fresh start in a home that's truly turnkey. Don't miss your chance to own a fully renovated property with standout curb appeal in one of Carmel's most desirable settings.
PREVIOUS CONTINGENCY REMOVED. Here we have a quaint 1 bed 1 bath home on 2.8 acres of prime commercially zoned land in the heart of Carmel. The business opportunities are endless with 263' of road frontage that has high visibility on US RT 2. Or just keep it as your personal residence. There are two unfinished rooms in the front of the house that could make this a three bedroom house once finished. The tree line on either side of the house provide great privacy. With only a 10 min drive to the interstate and 20 mins to Bangor this property is the perfect location for an easy commute to work or shopping all while avoiding the hustle and bustle of city living.
