The Cottages at Willett Brook offer level entry ranch-style single-family homes built from wood frames with vinyl siding, most with about 610 to 924 square feet, and these are all on one floor so you don't need to deal with stairs, which makes everyday life a bit simpler. The neighborhood is set up for folks aged 55 and over, in the Sebago Lakes region, which puts you near the water for fishing or boating, and not far from downtown Bridgton with little shops, restaurants, and old architecture. The homes have open plans, vaulted ceilings, modern appliances like stainless steel and Frigidaire brands, plus things like walk-in closets, private bathrooms, master baths, mud rooms, air conditioning, double-pane windows, and in-unit laundry with a washer and dryer already there, and some units even have kitchenettes and attached garages, with more storage or RV and boat space if you need it.
The grounds stay neat without you having to mow or shovel since the homeowners' association takes care of lawn care, landscaping, irrigation, and snow removal, so it's easy for folks who want less upkeep, and pets are welcome, too, which is nice. Energy efficient living is a focus, with some homes and the clubhouse using solar panels on the roof and double-pane glass in the windows. It's golf cart friendly and there are trails, covered or indoor parking, a garden, screen porch areas, and spaces for grilling, plus high-speed Internet and cable TV available, so you'll have options if you like to stay active or relax outside.
The community has a clubhouse of about 1,800 square feet where people can use a full kitchen, fitness room, library, great room, cinema space, or join in card games, bridge, or craft sessions, and the activity calendar gives you regular programs, daily events, music nights, movie nights, and outdoor gatherings, and there's even a community garden for folks who like to dig in the dirt. There's a maintenance company for all the regular tasks, and housekeeping, laundry, dining, and move-in help are available, plus there's parking, transportation help, and even concierge services if you need extra support. Dining services cover restaurant-style meals, all-day dining, options for allergies, or special diets including those for diabetes, and residents have access to a dining room and meal prep support if needed.
The community can offer assisted living and memory care, along with help for daily tasks like medication management, meals, bathing, and personal care, and there's a call system and onsite team for emergencies and supervision, with the hospital less than a mile away, so help's close by if something happens. Some homes come ready to move into and you can choose your layout or lot, and an experienced team can help design a home, or you can get one finished already with features like new heating, cooling, tile or hardwood floors, pantry, storage, and sprinklers in the yard. People wanting a quiet but social place to live can join in bridge, card games, or walk the trails, using the clubhouse for gatherings or fitness, and because it's a smaller homes community, neighbors often get to know each other, which makes it feel more comfortable and close-knit for folks looking for a manageable and friendly place to live.
