A One-of-a-Kind Mid-Century Modern Gem in the Heart of Orono. Nestled on a serene cul-de-sac in the heart of Orono, this extraordinary home offers a blend of privacy, architectural significance and unbeatable proximity to all the town has to offer. Designed by renowned local architect Cooper Milliken, this 3-bed, 1.5-bath home sits on a lush 0.75ac lot surrounded by mature trees, creating a sense of seclusion while being steps away from schools, trails, and the vibrant downtown. Captivating floor-to-ceiling windows grace both levels, inviting southwestern light and framing views of the private, fenced-in backyard. The family room's centerpiece is the original wood-burning fireplace, perfect for cozy evenings. The sunny kitchen features ample storage and pine ceilings, leading to a spacious pantry and laundry area. An impressive foyer and half bath complete the main floor. Ascend the architecturally striking open staircase to the second level, to find an open landing space, ideal for a home office, reading nook or playroom. Three generously sized bedrooms boast plush carpeting and magnificent floor-to-ceiling windows that connect you with the surrounding natural beauty. A full bath, conveniently located near the bedrooms completes the upper level. Modern amenities blend seamlessly with the home's historic design, including composite acoustic ceilings, a durable rubber roof, a heat pump on each level, & a paved driveway. Outdoor enthusiasts will delight in access, just at the end of the cul-de-sac, to Orono Land Trust trails for hiking, biking and cross-country skiing. Mere steps from the Orono schools and a short walk to downtown's vibrant scene. The Penobscot River and the University of Maine campus are both accessible by bike or a five-minute drive. This home is more than a residence; it's an opportunity to own a piece of architectural history in one of Orono's most desirable and convenient locations. Come experience the unmatched character of this home.
