Set along 377 feet of private frontage on Giles Pond, this 2.5-acre home calls to those who crave something deeper: more stillness, more space, more connection. A timeless Cape Cod design unfolds across 3,290 sq.ft., offering versatile spaces that can serve as up to five bedrooms. The first floor blends an expansive kitchen, formal dining room, laundry room, office, half bath, and a first-floor bedroom for ease of living. Upstairs, the primary en suite anchors one wing, while two additional bedrooms and a full bath are thoughtfully placed at the other. Above the heated two-car garage, a bonus room and optional bedroom create space for creativity, work, or guests. Step outside, and the world exhales. An outdoor kitchen, stone patio, inviting porch, and private dock shape daily life around nature's rhythms - morning swims, slow paddles across mirror-still waters, afternoons spent fishing, and evenings wrapped in pink and lavender skies as loons call across the pond. Even winter brings its own kind of magic, with ice fishing, skating, and snowmobiling right from your doorstep. Two sheds stand ready for your tools and swim gear, while a full, dry basement offers endless possibilities for storage or expansion. The septic system is designed for three bedrooms. This is a truly loved and carefully maintained year-round residence on Giles Pond - a 64-acre freshwater jewel, reserved for those who understand the rare value of silence, space, and wild beauty. All just 35 minutes from Bangor, 30 minutes from Ellsworth, and under an hour to the breathtaking shores of Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. If you've been waiting for a home that doesn't simply hold your life but elevates it - this spring brings your opportunity.
