About This Home

As of May 2025

Picture yourself unwinding on the back porch of this primo positioned home overlooking Bath Creek with sweeping views of the water, the bridge to historic Bath, and sailboat masts gently swaying in the distance, the setting is truly postcard-worthy. But the view is just the beginning. This thoughtfully designed, three-level home is packed with features that enhance both comfort and functionality. The second-floor open-concept living space is filled with natural light, morning sunrises are best enjoyed curled up by the gas-log fireplace with a warm cup of coffee in hand looking out over the water. The living room flows seamlessly into the dining area and a well-appointed kitchen featuring custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and generous counter space--perfect for meal prep or a casual breakfast at the bar. A convenient laundry room adds practicality, and a whole-house central vacuum system makes cleanup a breeze--giving you more time to enjoy the view. Also on the second level is the primary suite, complete with an oversized walk-in closet and an en suite bathroom featuring a spacious walk-in shower. The third floor offers incredible flexibility with three additional bedrooms, two full baths, and a versatile bonus room ideal for a home office, playroom, or media space. When you're ready to explore more, take the elevator down to the ground-level garage--fully heated and cooled--providing the ultimate workshop, studio, man cave, she shed, or whatever suits your lifestyle. There's ample room for two vehicles and all your gear. Step out back to enjoy the manicured lawn, fire pit, and 5' bulkhead with a dock equipped with two boat lifts and a jet ski lift. Whether you're setting out for a day of boating, fishing, or simply dropping a crab pot and relaxing in the shaded covered area, this waterfront paradise has it all. This home invites you to slow down, savor the moment, and soak in that incredible view--every single day.
