1568 Essex Street , Bangor, ME 04401(Penobscot County)

Set in an exceptional Bangor location, this raised ranch offers the rare feeling of peaceful, rural privacy while remaining just minutes from all the amenities the city has to offer. Enter through the glassed-in porch and into a spacious living and dining area that flows seamlessly into the kitchen, creating an inviting space for everyday living and entertaining. Large bow windows flood the main living area with natural light, while the dining room opens to a covered front porch overlooking a small, private pond—an ideal spot to enjoy morning coffee or unwind with a good book. Down the hall, you'll find two comfortable bedrooms, a full bath, and conveniently located laundry all on the main level. The lower level features a private primary bedroom with an attached partially finished room, originally planned as an ensuite bathroom. This flexible space could easily be completed as a bathroom or reimagined as a home office or hobby room. A bonus room currently used as an exercise space, along with a large storage area and interior access to the one-car garage, complete this level. Outside, the property truly shines with abundant storage and versatility, including a two-bay detached garage, a one-bay outbuilding, and several additional storage sheds. These spaces offer endless possibilities for a workshop, business use, hobbies, or equipment storage. With room for gardening, homesteading, outdoor games, and more, this property is well-equipped to support a wide range of lifestyles and passions—all in a prime Bangor setting.
