1 Little Bird Lane, Brunswick, ME, 04011

Completed in 2022, this lovely 3 bedroom, 3 bath residence combines the option of single level living with very private guest accommodations on a double lot. The floor plan offers a primary suite on the ground level along with a second bedroom and adjoining bathroom. The south-facing kitchen features a Bertazzoni induction range, Scandinavian tiles, custom cabinets, and granite countertops, while the living room looks out over a woodland meadow to conserved land. The upstairs suite is oversized with two separate walk-in closets, ample room for a seating area, a nook for a writing desk, and an adjoining bathroom with in-floor radiant heat for those chilly Maine mornings. A capacious laundry room separates the two wings of the home, connecting to a tiled anteroom that could be used as either a home office or gym. Built to be ultra-energy efficient, low maintenance, and whisper-quiet, this residence consists of both a Unity home by Bensonwood - a nationally recognized leader in sustainable building - and a custom addition. The walls & ceiling are super-insulated with dense-pack cellulose, and high-performance windows and doors allow the home to shrug off the most severe winter weather. A Zehnder Heat Recovery Ventilator ensures optimal indoor air quality while Mitsubishi heat pumps efficiently heat and cool the home. In the event of a power outage, you are protected by an automatic whole-house generator. The one-acre property consists of two fully permitted building lots abutting conserved land. The gardens have been lavished with flowering perennials and fruit bearing trees. All the homes in the development are high performance, resulting in a friendly year-round community of professionals, young families, and retirees who share an interest in sustainability and conservation. Enjoy the privacy of this rural location - peepers in spring and fireflies at night in the summer - safe in the knowledge that you are convenient to Downtown Brunswick, Freeport and Portland.
