A bit about this Property
Built in 2006, renovated in 2015, “Laughing Loon” is an impossibly charming, year round home on beloved Molasses Pond. Sited on a 3.5 acre parcel owning on both sides of Stratton Lane, the home is tucked away from the quiet road and enjoys perfect privacy. Through the thoughtfully groomed forest, sun glimmers off the pond in an almost dreamlike manner. 290′ of west facing, deepwater pond frontage sports a dock for boating, swimming & fishing, as well as an endless theater of spectacular sunsets. The wide, full length deck is ideal for entertaining & dining with its orientation towards the sun soaked pond. The stained board & batten siding and gingerbread trim ooze “Maine Lake Cottage” appeal to such a degree than even the shed matches! Inside, 3 bedrooms & 1 full bathroom are paired with a large main living area that encompasses living, cooking & dining spaces. The kitchen offers glass fronted cherry cabinetry & Corian counters. The living room soars with cathedral ceiling and oversized, wood framed Andersen windows that draw the pondside setting in. Two 1st floor bedrooms include a primary bedroom with lovely views of the pond. Both 1st floor bedrooms have handsome beadboard ceilings. The 3rd bedroom is a loft accessed via spiral stairs. This inviting space enjoys a fun view of the home’s interior and locally milled pine floors. A mudroom entry is the perfect place to stash the fishing poles & swim gear. Flooring in the 1st floor is hardwood oak, except in the laundry area & bathroom where you will find tile. Heat comes from either an Avalon woodstove or a Rinnai propane heater (Rinnai propane water heater, too). The home’s design includes the ability to construct a catwalk over to a 2nd loft space. If you care to share this paradise, the 2023 rental rates were $2,380/week. Molasses Pond is known for its size, crystal clear waters & robust fish population. Rental appeal here is undeniable.
