Rarely does a streamside oasis in Waterville become available. Located on a large, in-town lot along Messalonskee Stream, this charming 3-bedroom, 1-bath Dutch Colonial blends 1920s character with thoughtful modern updates. Owned by the same family since it was built, this home reflects lasting pride in craftsmanship throughout. A spacious living room features a Rumford fireplace with a beautifully detailed hearth and French glass doors. The kitchen opens to a flexible den or dining area with elevated stream views, where afternoon light and water reflections brighten the space. Stainless steel appliances add modern efficiency, while a cozy telephone nook offers potential for a future half bath. Upstairs, two bedrooms with built-in drawers, dormers, and closets welcome the morning sun. A third bedroom currently serves as a laundry room with storage, and the full bath includes a tub and shower. Well-preserved hardwood floors run throughout both levels. The basement home office, accessible by a separate entrance, includes a kitchenette area with a mini-fridge and utility sink. Four heat pumps and an efficient 2017 steam boiler provide year-round comfort. Connecting you with nature, the inviting screened porch overlooks shaded perennial gardens, chipped paths, and a gently sloping side yard leading to Messalonskee Stream, where wildlife is abundant. Rock walls and gardens surround the house, patio, and back entrance. Enjoy kayaking, canoeing, and fishing from your own picnic area with a stone fireplace. The spacious garage offers flexible space for storage, gardening, or a studio. With nearby trails, Colby College, Maine General, and Waterville's vibrant downtown just minutes away, this gracious home offers character, comfort, and an exceptional natural setting.
