173 Mckeen Street

This charming cape with gorgeous exposed post-and-beams throughout is an unexpected surprise, a hidden gem nestled on a beautiful lot just minutes from Brunswick's bustling downtown. As you step inside, you'll be enchanted by the natural light that pours into every corner of this inviting home. South-facing windows not only illuminate the space but also provide passive solar heat, making it both eco-friendly and cozy in the cooler months. Downstairs the open-concept layout offers ample space for comfortable living with a spacious kitchen, inviting living room with a Jotul woodstove, light-filled dining room, and a generous half bath. As you move upstairs, you'll be greeted by stunning cathedral ceilings throughout with two bedrooms, a full bathroom, spacious closets, and storage aplenty. The large, tranquil primary bedroom offers the perfect peaceful retreat. Need extra space for work or guests? The partially finished bonus room in the basement offers endless possibilities - a home office, entertainment room, or with some tweaking, a third bedroom! Outside, the lovely yard is a gardener's dream, adorned with mature and well-cared-for perennials, peach and pear trees, berries, herbs, and rhubarb. The deck and patio provide plenty of room for entertaining or simply unwinding and the large garden shed provides plenty of room for storage. With clear, vertical grain western cedar siding, a newer boiler and a new roof installed in 2021, this home is not only beautiful but also well-maintained. Enjoy the peace and serenity of your own oasis, just moments away from Brunswick's vibrant downtown with its restaurants, coffee shops, entertainment, art museums, and Bowdoin College. Don't miss your chance to call this hidden gem home!
