Description

Set on 2 wooded acres with a babbling brook, this expanded, 3 BD Standard 1974 Ranch offers 1860 sf of finished living space. The freshly painted exterior, lattice deck skirting and level lawn give this home curb appeal.

Laminated wood flooring in the Living Room, Office/Laundry Room & Hallway, as well as several freshly painted rooms brighten the interior of the original house. In 2005 a 20x24 two story addition containing the Kitchen, a Half Bath & a downstairs Family Room with lots of windows & French doors to the backyard was constructed. A fantastic bonus for a starter home, doubling the living area!

The full, partitioned, unfinished, walkout basement offers ample storage & options for even more living space. Two unfinished rooms are walled off & were used as bedrooms. The rest of the basement is, presently, a workshop.

Updates include a new furnace & zoned heating system in 2003. Until recently, the owner operated a licensed day care. The house has hardwired smoke alarms, monitored security system & passed licensing inspections.

Mostly wooded, the backyard is private year round. Weather permitting, a deck off the Kitchen is a great place for dining or relaxing. A 12x12 shed with electricity is easily accessible storage for yard equipment & even a bike or two.

The property is located just off Rt 117, only minutes from Rt 4 access to major medical, educational, employment, shopping & entertainment centers in the Auburn/Lewiston metro area.

Sunny Brook Acres is near the Nezinscot River (canoe and/or fish for trout & small mouth bass) which is a significant inland waterfowl & wading bird habitat. Just minutes away, off Center Bridge Road in Turner, is Androscoggin Riverlands Park affording a variety of recreational opportunities, such as hiking, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, horseback riding, snowmobiling & ATV riding trails.
 
Highlights

The floor plan of the main house retains the original room proportions. When the Kitchen moved into the addition that space became a multipurpose room primarily used for an office/study and laundry. Recently installed, matching laminated, parquet flooring in the Office/Laundry (9x17), Living Room (11x14.5) and Hallway gives continuity to the main living area of the house. Two Bdrms are carpeted.
The three original bedrooms are approximately 9x10, standard for the era & big enough for double, bunk or twin beds. The owner considered using the Family Rm for a Master Bedroom. The windows in the addition are vinyl (2003-2005). Those in the main house appear to be the original wood frame windows. The picture window in the Living Room has crank windows on either side.
With all the beautiful trees, there are several spots for a hammock or swing!! Two acres offers plenty of places for vegetable or flower gardens, too. Until recently, the owner operated a day care out of the house. Therefore, the house passed many stringent inspections. A full property security system with camera & monitor is negotiable.
The week of September 21, 2009, Staples Road was upgraded and paved by the town of Turner.
