168 Cottage RoadWindham, ME 04062Price: $625,000

Your Maine escape, just under two hours from Boston. Tucked onto a quiet lane with water access to Highland Lake, this fully renovated 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath retreat was made for long weekends, lazy summers, and leaf-peeping getaways without the maintenance headaches that usually come with a second home. Completely modernized from the studs out, the ~1,650 sqft interior offers a bright, open-concept main level with a new Caf-appliance kitchen, beautifully remodeled baths, and fresh finishes throughout. Major systems, including the roof, septic, windows, drywall, and flooring were all replaced in 2022, so weekends here are for the lake and the trails, not the to-do list. The newly finished lower level adds serious flexibility: a third bedroom for guests, a mudroom with custom storage for gear, and a bonus room that works as a media room, bunk room, or remote office. Outside, a private back deck and new paver patio set the scene for evening drinks, while the front patio captures water views of Highland Lake, ideal for morning coffee. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the Lowell Preserve and Blackstrap Hill trailheads minutes away, with Highland Lake ready for swimming, kayaking, and paddleboarding. Portland's restaurants, Falmouth's shops, and the Maine coast are a short drive. Sebago Lake and Acadia-bound routes are easy day trips. Low-lot, low-upkeep, high-lifestyle. The kind of Maine second home that actually gets used.
