Perfectly situated on a hilltop setting with over two acres of mature perennial gardens, manicured lawn, and wooded walking trails leading to a charming wooden bridge,
this immaculate East Coast–inspired home enjoys a serene and perfect location in the heart of Orono.
The home’s timeless character and quiet elegance are felt immediately. The rich architectural detailing—wainscoting, refined millwork, arched built-ins, intimate reading nooks, both gas and a wood burning fireplaces, all create a sense of warmth and sophistication. Thoughtfully designed for both gracious entertaining and everyday living, this home offers a series of inviting spaces filled with natural light and charm.
The large and open gourmet kitchen is the center of the home with large informal dining, a center island that seats the entire family and an adjacent elegant formal dining room that offers the perfect place for holiday dinners. The kitchen opens to the large family room so everyone can gather together. A sun-drenched four-season porch plus a second screened in porch provide seamless connection to the serene, private grounds and outdoor deck—inviting year-round enjoyment of nature in all four seasons.
The main-level primary suite is a true retreat; featuring wood floors and a beautiful window seat, a fully updated bath, a spacious dressing room, and an adjoining private wood-paneled office that evokes classic East Coast elegance.
Upstairs, four additional bedrooms and two fully remodeled baths offer comfort and flexibility for family and guests alike. Extensive updates throughout (please see supplement for list of improvements) ensure modern livability while preserving a timeless character.
Set along coveted Jamestown Road—a private enclave with direct walking access to Orono Schools’ ball fields and a short distance from the scenic biking and walking trails of Baker Park Reserve—this property offers a rare combination of privacy, convenience, and storybook beauty.
A truly special offering—timeless and inviting—this is a home that captures the imagination and creates a lasting sense of legacy
