12 Birchwood Drive

Welcome to Freshwater Woods on Annabessacook Lake, a premier 13-lot lakeside enclave designed for refined year-round living and four-season recreation. Set privately on nearly three wooded acres, this newly completed 2,737 sq ft contemporary residence exemplifies modern Scandinavian-inspired design, combining architectural sophistication with advanced building science and high-performance efficiency. Constructed to the highest standard, the home features closed-cell spray foam insulation, European triple-glazed windows, 7-inch engineered white oak flooring, 7.5-foot solid oak interior doors, and custom white oak cabinetry throughout. The main level centers around a chef’s kitchen anchored by Taj Mahal quartzite countertops, an expansive center island, and a walk-in pantry, flowing seamlessly into the sunlit living area with a gas fireplace. A mudroom with tailored built-ins offers direct entry from the attached two-car garage, while a 286 sq ft screened porch extends the living space outdoors for three-season dining and entertaining. Upstairs, a second living room complete with a wet bar creates an inviting lounge or media space. Each of the three spacious bedrooms opens to its own private elevated balcony, including a serene primary suite with a custom walk-in closet and a beautifully tiled double-vanity bath. Two additional bedrooms feature ensuite and adjacent designer baths, complemented by a dedicated second-floor laundry room. A full daylight walk-out basement provides exceptional storage or future finish potential. Residents enjoy deeded access to over 300 feet of shared sandy beach on Annabessacook Lake with kayak storage and planned amenities. The setting offers endless four-season adventure, from summer boating and paddling on Annabessacook and neighboring Lake Cobbossee, to winter ice fishing and direct access to regional snowmobile trails connecting across both lakes. Ideally situated in Monmouth, just minutes from Augusta and one hour from Portland.
