Property Description

Rare opportunity for a fabulous family home in Orono's high demand Willow View neighborhood! The 1.92 acre lot is exquisite, with mature landscaping throughout and a stunning in-ground pool in back. The pool and patios are surrounded by dense trees that create privacy while enjoying the yard. The street is dotted with other family homes on similar large lots - but close enough for a community feel. Kids can walk out the backyard over to the award winning Orono schools campus with soccer fields, baseball diamonds and hockey arena all accessible! This 2005 built two-story was designed for both comfortable everyday living and exceptional entertaining. The open and light filled main floor features hardwood floors, white enameled woodwork, walls of windows, and natural flow. The great room is open to the center island kitchen (truly set up for a passionate chef), and informal dining space. Additional living and entertaining spaces include a formal dining room, living room, spacious home office, lovely 4-season porch, and adjacent deck for grilling and outdoor dining. An organized mud room, laundry room and ½ bath are additional main level conveniences. The second level includes a large, custom-designed, primary suite with breathtaking views of the yard, three additional spacious bedrooms, two additional baths and a sizable 'bonus room above the garage. The walkout lower level includes a family room and game area with wet bar, wine cellar, fifth bedroom, fifth bathroom, fitness room and junior sport court, perfect for young ones practicing basketball or hockey shots. Outdoor spaces include the beautiful pool, Jacuzzi??? hot tub, plentiful patio space, including a shady pergola-covered seating area and finally a flagstone patio with firepit. There is even more space at the back of the lot for a future basketball court or vegetable gardens. The big updates have been done: 2025 roof, 2024 AC & Furnace. Carpeted areas were replaced in Spring 2025. The kitchen and baths have all been beautifully updated in the last few years. The pool and grounds have been meticulously maintained. Connection to city water and sewer eliminates extra maintenance. Full update list can be found in the supplements. This home is truly exceptional.
