Welcome to 257 Pleasant Street in Fort Kent, where location, acreage, and character come together in this inviting 3-bedroom, 1-bath home situated on a beautiful 1.4-acre lot. Offering approximately 1,256 square feet of living space, this property is conveniently located just minutes from downtown Fort Kent, the University of Maine at Fort Kent, local schools, shopping, the hospital, golf, and skiing. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the easy access to nearby snowmobile and ATV trails.
