RAYMOND – The location of this year-round home with 100 feet of frontage on Sebago Lake is doubly excellent. Not only does the property, with its little sandy beach and its dock, sit on secluded, protected Whittemore Cove; also, the cove is near the tip of Raymond Cape, and opens into highly desirable Jordan Bay.
A further advantage, for buyers considering a family compound: An abutting 1.4 acre lot, also with 100 feet of waterfront, is also being offered. And, across the quiet lane, this home has a huge garage with a daylight, walkup second floor that has finishing potential.
The home is sited and designed to make the most of its environment. The side-to-side screened and covered porch looks out over the water. So does the lower-level bedroom, whose French doors open out to a covered patio area. And so do the approximately 380 square feet of the living/dining/great room; the kitchen that flows into it; and the wide, carpeted, main entrance hallway.
The bright kitchen has been updated, with new appliances (Bosch oven and microwave, and Fisher & Paykel refrigerator). The great room features and tongue-and-groove pine-panelled cathedral ceiling, 3-inch oak flooring, and a beautiful stone wood-burning fireplace and hearth.
The full bath with tub and pedestal sink has also been updated. The upstairs is a loft-sized, carpeted bedroom with an extra-deep closet. In addition to the second bedroom, the lower level has an extensive L-shaped area for storage, workshop, etc. Washer and dryer are here, too.
The 1,440-square-foot home at 54 Whittemore Cove Road, Raymond, is listed for sale at $525,000 (which is below appraisal; this is an estate sale) and is being shown by appointment. Annual taxes are $6,731.
For more information on this property and on the adjacent lot, (which is listed at $250,000) or to arrange a viewing, please contact Paul and Jan Willis of Willis Real Estate in Gorham at 839-3390 or at willisteam@willisrealestate.com.
