[*333 Bridge Street, Newfield, Maine*](http://flexmls.com/share/Ea42P/333-Bridge-Street-Newfield-ME-04095?utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-8tMkW97Zo_0ZZdHXOCQbENi1Hz3CKsCo1a0XNjH_yk9uYsouSYMYNPJCl8o1qKCh1Pbu18)

Some properties have a feature that makes you stop and think about all the possibilities.

[333 Bridge Street in Newfield](http://flexmls.com/share/Ea42P/333-Bridge-Street-Newfield-ME-04095?utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-8tMkW97Zo_0ZZdHXOCQbENi1Hz3CKsCo1a0XNjH_yk9uYsouSYMYNPJCl8o1qKCh1Pbu18) has a combination I don't come across very often: a manageable, single-level home paired with an absolutely incredible amount of workshop, storage and project space.

The house itself is an efficient 680 square feet, with everything you need on the first floor: bedroom, full bath, kitchen, dining and living space, plus a three-season porch.

There's a full basement underneath, and an unfinished attic above with potential to explore additional bedrooms or living space in the future.

**And then you head out back.**

There's an enormous **1,800+ square-foot workshop and storage building**, with even more space in the basement below it and exterior loading access.

Woodworker? Contractor? Artist? Collector? Serial project starter?

Someone with a small business who would love to have their workspace right at home?

Or maybe you're ready to simplify your living space but absolutely **not** ready to give up your tools, hobbies and projects?

This property makes so much sense.

It's also located in Newfield's Village District, which opens up some interesting possibilities for an owner-operated or home-based business, depending on the use and town approval.

I keep coming back to the same description for this one:

**It's a small house for someone with big plans.**

And I think that's what I like about it.

Square footage tells you how large a house is. It doesn't necessarily tell you how much life you can fit there.
