53 North Pond RD Rome, ME 04963

Wonderful large home privately set on 17 acres. Five bedrooms and 3 ½ baths, spacious open rooms with lovely hardwood floors and period trim. Part of the home is a one-bedroom in-law apartment with a separate entrance. If the in-law apartment is not needed, the space is terrific as an additional bedroom with own bathroom, plus family room, work out area or separate large office. The primary suite on the first floor is generously sized with several large closets and its own bathroom. Two of the upstairs bedrooms have views of Great Pond and another bedroom has a hallway with closets and drawers leading to a second-floor family room. Both the family room and living rooms have gas fireplaces which supplement the hot water baseboard heat. Outside is a large, heated in-ground swimming pool installed in 2017 surrounded by a safety fence that allows swimming into mid-October. The attached two car garage is oversized with a third tractor door off the back. There's plenty of yard and woods to enjoy with this attractive, secluded home. Many updates include hardwood floors, newer standing-seam metal roof, newer septic system and on-demand generator. This private, quiet property is located under ½ hour from Augusta, Waterville and Farmington. Belgrade Lakes Village is just down the road for dining, shopping and community events, as well as the Belgrade Lake Golf Course. Explore miles of hiking trails in the Kennebec Highlands for year-round recreation or enjoy the trail in the woods of your own backyard.
