Samuel Johnson held that to be happy at home is the ultimate result of all ambition. It's a good line to carry up the drive at 70 Jesse Robbins Road. The Cape sits back on the quiet edge of Belfast, with downtown a few minutes away and the feeling of being much farther. 5.5 acres hold open fields, lawn, and woods, with fruit trees and well-kept plantings near the house. The backyard is made for wandering. A small barn gives a start on a mini-farm. Inside, the rooms open to one another without giving up the coziness of a room of one's own. Large windows keep the light coming in through every season, and the updates are fresh. The kitchen and both bathrooms were recently completed after a down to the studs remodel. There are 3 bedrooms, one of them on the first floor, and 2 full, updated baths. In the daylight basement, a finished room has its own entrance at ground level, so it can serve as a den or an office without anyone passing through the rest of the house. This entire space has been freshly remodeled. There is ample storage, and a large two-car garage includes room for a workshop. At the back, a sunny deck looks over the lawn to the edge of the woods. Important work has been completed, the kind that never shows in a photograph. Heat comes two ways: hot-water baseboard, and efficient heat pumps that also cool the house in summer. A water treatment system is already in place. What's left is the pleasant part: moving in. There is one more possibility. With over 700 ft of road frontage, preliminary work has been completed toward a separate two-acre parcel, laid out to protect the privacy of the house. A soil test, three bedroom septic design, and initial plot plan are complete. Subject to approvals, a future owner could sell the lot, build on it, or add a second home or accessory dwelling unit for multigenerational living. **Additional photos are coming soon
