Property Description
Welcome to 177 Water Street—a rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully maintained, mid-century modern home with direct riverfront on the Kennebec. Set on over half an acre (.57 acres) with water access and potential for a dock, this property offers stunning views, abundant natural light, and a front-row seat to Maine's wildlife, from bald eagles and ospreys to leaping sturgeon.
This solidly built, two-level ranch features 4 bedrooms, an office, and 2.5 bathrooms across two versatile living spaces. The main level (~1,300 sq ft) showcases hardwood floors, big windows, central air, and a vintage-but-functional charm. The lower level includes a fully equipped ~1,200 sq ft in-law apartment with daylight access—perfect for multigenerational living, rental income, or flexible guest space.
Additional highlights include:
• Attached carport, lower level attached 1-car garage, and detached (stand alone) 1 car garage.
• Ample indoor and outdoor storage
• Walkability to groceries, restaurants, and the scenic 10-mile rail trail
• Only three owners since built
• Potential for value-add upgrades
With its unique architectural character, unbeatable river views, and flexible layout, 177 Water St is a one-of-a-kind property offering comfort, connection to nature, and long-term potential.
