About This Home

Nestled on the serene shores of Belfast's outer harbor, Day Lily Cottage is a historic gem from 1920, beautifully restored to capture both timeless charm and modern elegance. This elevated waterfront haven boasts original stone and clapboard architecture, with a spacious covered porch with a screened-in area, perfectly positioned to take in the stunning southern views over the harbor. Inside, the cottage is filled with character: relax by the cozy stone fireplace, prepare meals in a delightful kitchen with granite counters and modern appliances, and enjoy two exquisitely updated bathrooms with oversized glass showers. With three comfortable bedrooms, this year-round retreat balances the simple allure of a classic New England cottage with the comforts of contemporary living. Outside, the grounds are a lush oasis, landscaped with native that blend seamlessly into the natural surroundings. The property includes a charming barn for storage, a spacious yard for outdoor games, and a versatile, stand-alone studio perfect for creative pursuits-be it writing, painting, yoga, or additional guest accommodations. Stairs to the shoreline allow easy access for kayaking, walking and swimming. A strong rental history makes this meticulously maintained property a good choice for investment. Day Lily Cottage offers a rare blend of historic beauty, modern amenities, and enchanting waterfront vistas.
