Sometimes simple is exactly right. This sweet 1975 Scarborough ranch offers easy, single-level living on a surprisingly generous half-acre, with a location that puts so much of what makes this town special within easy reach. Inside, 1,040 square feet feels comfortable and considered, with warm wood floors, a straightforward layout and just the right amount of vintage character. Two bedrooms and a full bath keep everything conveniently on one floor, while the attached two-car garage adds the kind of everyday practicality that becomes especially appreciated when winter rolls around. Outside, a half-acre provides plenty of room to garden, play, putter or simply enjoy some breathing space of your own. And then there's the location. Beaches, Scarborough Marsh and miles of trails are all nearby, with Portland easily within reach while home still feels decidedly Scarborough. Uncomplicated, comfortable and wonderfully situated, 28 Old County Road is a little peach of a place.
