HOLLIS – Built in 1995, this charming single-level home was greatly expanded in 2008, to its present 1,612 square feet. In addition to sheer size, not to mention a two-vehicle, direct-entry garage, the expansion lends great versatility. Here is a very spacious, hardwood-floored master suite, if you like, complete with a daylight dressing room and a full bath with an oversized shower enclosure. Or, a guest/in-law suite; or, a family room plus office.

This wing opens off the original home’s main living area, which beneath a cathedral ceiling and a skylight extends front-to-back from a sitting room with a wood stove on a stone hearth, to a dine-in kitchen with oak cabinetry, a four-burner Jenn-Air gas range, and newer French door refrigerator and Bosch dishwasher. A full-view door opens out to the elevated deck, which is also newer.

Down the hall are two large, carpeted end bedrooms, each with a double closet; and a smaller bedroom, or office. A full bath with a tub serves all.

The full basement has excellent ceiling height and all the workshop/storage/exercise space one could want, plus great potential for finishing for a family room, etc. The roof is 2008-new; the high-efficiency propane boiler supplying two-zone heat was installed in 2012.

The home sits on a primarily wooded, 1.87-acre lot in a Hollis Center location that while pleasantly rural, is also very convenient – for example, the Hannaford in Waterboro is just over three miles away. Since wildlife visit often, the home’s garden is fenced to discourage deer and other critters. Families with children may be glad to know that the wooden playset in the back yard will convey.

The home at 575 Deerwander Road, Hollis, is listed for sale at $222,500 by Bill Trask of The Maine Real Estate Network (Standish office). Taxes were $2,472 in 2015.
