About This Home

As of December 2024

What a special place to call home. Whether you are inside or out you can enjoy the breathtaking views at this waterfront oasis. A keen eye for detail completed this meticulously crafted home with numerous details in most rooms. The kitchen has marble and copper countertops, newer appliances and a pantry. Access to a 3 season screened porch from the dining area is an extended option for dining, the morning coffee or afternoon tea. Living room has a wall of windows facing Great Salt Bay, beautiful hardwood flooring, woodburning fireplace and surround sound stereo system hidden behind the copper wall. Enter from the covered deck into the home and drop all your gear in the mudroom. The first floor has a half bath. The second floor has 2 guest bedrooms or one could be an office/ media room. The master en suite captures the same picturesque view as the living room. The master bath has shower and the two other bedrooms share another full bath on this floor. The lower basement level is finished with family room, wine cellar, laundry room and a room tucked in the back with all the home systems. The flexible floor plan accommodates space for entertaining or privacy. Patio accessed from the family room for yet another place to congregate and take full advantage of waterfront enjoyment. A panoramic view of the changing of tides, the sun rising on the east, shorebirds, star gazing and gorgeous sunsets. The home is nestled on the shore of Great Salt Bay affording the options of kayaking or boating from the dock. A spectacular wall of granite stones border the meandering paths between home and shore and circle around many vibrant perennials. There are established paths through the forest for added enjoyment of the acreage. A stroll to the Mills for public access to Damariscotta Lake for a swim. Drive just 2 miles to the charming shops, theater, hospital, restaurants and grocery stores. A mile away to get on RT 1 for commuting further north or south to the city
