About This Home
As of February 2023Your own private oasis! Located on its own peninsula on Long Cove in Searsport, this 3 bedroom, 2 bath house was originally owned by Captain James G. Pendleton. This classic old Maine cape was moved years ago from Sears Island and had extensive renovations around 2003. The current owners have done a lot more to make this already beautiful and energy-efficient home even more desirable. New flooring in the primary bedroom and living/ dining room, 2 new doors with sidelights to highlight the front entrance and the beautiful waterfront view overlooking the point. Two new heat pumps and a new wood stove will keep your energy costs down while keeping your home perfectly comfortable year round. New paint, upgraded Thermador stainless steel appliances, and granite steps are some of the features you'll appreciate in this well-appointed home. You'll enjoy evenings on the patio under the brand new Sunsetter awning overlooking the cove on the banks of the Penobscot River. This house is built to last with composite siding, copper roofing, and double walled design. Over 7 acres and over 1100+ feet of tidal shorefront make this property a perfect spot for hunting and fishing, or just getting away from it all. Most furnishings can convey, allowing you to just move right in and enjoy!
