2 Bedroom House in Topsham

Come rest and relax at Our Maine Happy Place!
Great for couples, families, solo travelers, remote workers, and anyone seeking the perfect balance between seclusion and being centrally located to everything MidCoast Maine has to offer!
About the property: Located on a private dirt road, you’ll find Our Maine Happy Place which has sweeping views of the Androscoggin River. The home is a well-appointed 2 bedroom / 2 full bath single family home that boasts a large lower-level family room area. The home is perched on a hillside that overlooks the riverfront. There is another home to the immediate right and to the immediate left of Our Maine Happy Place (the neighbors are amazing!).
The living room comfortably seats four and has an expansive picture window, providing stellar views of the river.
The kitchen is well equipped, including a new electric stove, two fridges (one on the upper level and one on the lower level), new pots/pans, new small appliances (toaster, coffee maker, slow cooker, blender), and new chef knives to mention a few of the highlights.
The primary bedroom features a queen bed with a new Saatva mattress (firmness: luxury firm) helping ensure a blissful night's sleep. The other bedroom has two comfortable twin beds. A full bathroom is shared between these two bedrooms. Both bedrooms are bright and sunny!
The lower-level family room is equipped with a TV, cable, Wi-Fi, and a workstation. There is a full bath on the lower level of the home as well.
You’ll find luxury vinyl flooring throughout the upper level and carpeting on the lower level.
Outdoor: We have an expansive lawn facing the riverfront. There are several outdoor sitting areas, including along the riverfront, on the upper deck, or on the patio. Outdoor furniture is provided.
Plus, there is a firepit, perfect for roasting marshmallows and a charcoal grill, perfect for grilling out.
Many nights, Our Maine Happy Place, also boasts amazing sunsets!
Parking: Uncovered parking is available on the paved driveway or stone/dirt turnabout.
Centrally located: Our Maine Happy Place is conveniently located near Interstate 295 --- we are so close that you may even hear the gentle hum of the highway traffic in the distance which we find adds to the calming ambiance of the property.
Plus, we are only 7 minutes to multiple coffee shops and restaurants (local establishments and chains), 30 minutes to Portland, 7 minutes to Bowdoin College, 15 minutes to L.L. Bean’s flagship store in Freeport, 40 minutes to Popham Beach, only 7 minutes to the Brunswick Water Street Boat Landing, many walking and hiking trails, and so much more!!!
Working remotely: We have high speed internet and a workstation. Or take your computer and sit on the deck while working and soak in the serenity of the riverfront.
Nature: Fishing on the riverbanks is pretty great. Two fishing poles are provided. Remember to get a fishing permit.
There is a monocular in the large armoire in the living room to assist with bird watching. We have had sightings of two bald eagles that visit the property from time to time. We also have sightings of beavers, wild turkeys, ducks and deer. Note: no hunting is permitted on the property.
Sit back and unwind and bathe in the tranquility!

Summary: Lovely house tucked up against the Androscoggin was perfect for our family of 4 adults. Generously stocked and comfortable for everyone. The stairs would be tough for someone with mobility limitations, but it wasn’t an issue. Relaxing and cozy and close to so many things.

Summary: We loved our stay at the Maine happy place. Gorgeous views and a charming house with all the comforts! We needed a place where it would be easy to get to Freeport, Bowdoin, Bates and Colby College and this house exceeded expectations. Great communication with hosts and made us feel very welcome. Highly recommend!

Summary: When I think about escaping to the Maine woods, I don’t usually associate this with such modern amenities, super clean, upscale decor, a well appointed kitchen, Wi-Fi, air conditioning/heat pump, multiple indoor/outdoor seating options to view the waterfront, wild flowers, and hear the birds sing. Yet here it is! In addition, this home is within 5 minutes to all the standard shopping and restaurants, and 5 minutes to a picturesque New England downtown with ample parking, unique shops, local art galleries and so many options for delicious food!As part of my stay, I took a drive to the famed Maine Beach, Popham Beach State Park, took a walk along the Androscoggin River on a beautiful bike/walking path. I found the locals genuinely friendly and helpful without being intrusive.I wish I had planned a longer stay, but will be sure to stay here again soon!

Summary: What a gem! Tucked away on the banks of a flowing river, this property met all of our needs and then some! My favorite part of our stay was the beautiful area to relax down by the water. Plenty of space and very comfortable beds, we slept well and woke up to a beautiful view and wrap around deck. If you are looking for a spacious home that is special and creates a relaxing and peaceful vibe, dont pass this up!
