About This Home

As of September 2024

Pastoral is the word which comes to mind when viewing this lovely property near the confluence of the Dyer and Sheepscot Rivers. Pastoral and yet easily accessible to Wiscasset and Damariscotta as well as Bath, Brunswick and Portland to the south. This charming 1940's
Cape has a bright, open floor plan with a 360 degree flow on the first floor. The sunny kitchenflows into the living room with a wood burning stove which flows into a year round sun room with sky lights and spectacular views. The living rooms flows into a cozy dining room which in turn flows into a small office (or downstairs bedroom if you so choose) with a full bath, tiled shower and tub and you then find yourself back in the kitchen with its sparkling kitchen cabinets. Should you choose to enjoy the scene outside of the sun room, walk out and relax on an open deck over looking gardens and a small orchard. The second floor has two bedrooms,plenty of closet space and a full bath wit h shower. A surprise is waiting as you walk out of the
kitchen through the breezeway (capped with a large wisteria vine) toward the two car garage. Upstairs is a large, sun filled room which served as a yoga studio for many years. Complete with a kitchenette, this wonderful space is can also serve as an extra bedroom or an office. A full
bath with shower is on the first floor. A lovely home in the middle of a tightly knit Sheepscot Community with neighborhood gatherings, swimming, kayaking and fishing.
