Tucked away on 1.3 wooded acres in Running Ridge, a small HOA neighborhood on a private dead-end road with just 13 homes, this home offers a rare combination of privacy and neighborhood connection. Bordered by approximately 19 acres of HOA-owned land shared only by the neighborhood, with access to private neighborhood trails and a pond, the property feels connected to nature. One of the home's defining spaces is the custom Douglas Fir screened porch: an oversized, cathedral-ceiling space with exposed timber framing and private wooded views. Large enough for both dining and lounging, it functions as a true seasonal living room, creating a sense of retreat that typical decks and patios cannot match. Outdoor living continues with a stone patio and hot tub area, welcoming front porch, open yard areas, and wooded surroundings that create multiple places to gather, relax, or simply enjoy the landscape. Inside, the layout is warm, comfortable, and practical. The eat-in kitchen and dinette area connect easily to the main living spaces and open through double doors to the screened porch, creating a natural indoor-outdoor flow. The main level also includes a living room with gas fireplace, front dining room, mudroom, pantry, and half bath. Upstairs are a primary suite with walk-in closet and private bath, two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and second-floor laundry. A large bonus room over the garage, accessed by its own private stairway and served by a separate heat zone, adds valuable flexibility for remote work, guests, media, fitness, hobbies, or a quiet space away from the main living areas. The approximately 650 sqft semi-finished lower level provides additional living, recreation, storage, play, fitness, or workshop space, offering even more versatility to fit your needs. Freeport and I-295 are easily accessible when the world calls you out. But here, on this trail-connected, quietly exceptional piece of Midcoast Maine, you may find yourself in no hurry to leave.
