My mother lived in this home at the Highlands in Topsham, Maine for the past 11 years—she loved both her cottage (as she called it) and the community, and we'd love to see someone live here who will cherish it as much as she did. (She's now living in the Boston area.)

close to all highlands amenities
The house is close to the Highlands Lodge, which has a salt water pool, fitness center, library, restaurant-style dining, and summer tent where all kinds of great events take place, from live music to workout classes to barbecues and more. It's also just a short walk to the Highlands' hiking trails, and a hop and a skip to downtown Brunswick, home of Bowdoin College.
summary
This bright, one-story home has a tile entry way, vinyl flooring in the kitchen, and carpeting throughout the rest of the house. There's ample closet space, a convenient washer/dryer set up, storage above the garage, and a 3-foot crawl space.
Main living area
The combined living and dining room space is open and versatile, with two huge windows and a double sliding glass door to the backyard patio, and it's spacious enough for your dining room set and living room furniture (there's even room leftover for a baby grand piano, should you have one)! Plenty of options.
kitchen
The kitchen is right inside the front door, and also has a door into the garage, making unloading groceries a breeze. Afternoon sun makes the room nice and bright, and there's a large pantry, plenty of cabinet space, full-sized fridge, glass top cookstove, dishwasher and garbage disposal in the sink.
Bedroom #1
This bedroom has three huge windows and a large closet, and is situated right next to one of the two full bathrooms and a linen closet.
Bathroom #1 features a full-sized, walk-in shower.
The hallway is wide enough for bookcases.
Bedroom #2
Our mother used the second bedroom as an office space, and this room has 3 large windows and gets afternoon sun. It also includes a huge walk-in closet and is steps away from Bathroom #2.
The second bedroom has tons of room for bookshelves if you want to use it as your office, or plenty of space for your bedroom set or a guest room.
Bathroom #2 includes a linen closet and a full-sized bathtub and shower.

I'm Joan Dempsey. My mom lived in this place, so I can fill you in on the details and, if it makes sense, put you in touch with the right people at the Highlands for a private showing and more in-depth conversation about joining this wonderful senior community.
