269 Main Street, Orono, ME 04473 - Penobscot County

Every detail of this ranch home tells a story of craftsmanship and thoughtful design. Built in 1950 with all the trend-setting features of its era- timeless style and functionality for modern living. There's vintage charm at every turn—twin glass-front cabinets in the dining room, arched doorways, display niches, in-wall ironing board, cedar storage closet and even the original milk delivery door. The inviting living room features a classic wood-burning fireplace and abundant natural light. The tastefully renovated eat-in kitchen shines with s/s appliances and woodgrain tile flooring. An adjacent den offers potential as an office or playroom. Down the hall you'll find the bedrooms & full bathroom, ideally tucked away from the hubbub of the main living areas. A sunroom-style breezeway connects the house to the two-car attached garage, providing must-have mudroom space. Outdoor living awaits on the massive backyard deck overlooking the huge, fenced backyard. Situated on an oversized corner lot, this property includes a rare additional parcel on Sunset Dr—an uncommon find in Orono, providing endless possibilities for gardening, play, or even an additional dwelling unit. Recent updates ensure peace of mind, including a high-efficiency natural gas boiler, underground electrical with a quick-connect generator plug, and 50-year architectural shingles installed in 2023. New plush carpeting makes it easy to move in and just start enjoying your new home. The full basement offers plenty of storage and a head start on future expansion with its own heating zone and partially finished space. The unbeatable location is just minutes from the University of Maine - you'll love quick access to campus events, downtown shops & dining, as well as the scenic Stillwater River. This home is a testament to an era when houses were built to last, and every design choice was made with purpose. The next owner will have the unique opportunity to embrace its history while making it their own.
