About This Home

As of January 2022

$$REDUCED$$ - MOTIVATED SELLERS!! Delightful ca. 1900s Craftsman waterfront home in the on Westport Island--midcoast Maine's hidden gem. With more conserved land every year, the Island's endless opportunities for hiking, x-country skiing, and paddling have attracted more buyers every year--it truly is "The Way Life Should Be" in Maine. This 3-bedroom home is most unique, said to boast the original carriage house from the Doggett's Castle homestead. Clad in red cedar shingles and forest green trim, this home arises from the forest like a boat through the fog... such a warm welcome every time you come home! Enjoy broad-beamed trusses vaulting up along the original stone fireplace and chimney, rich pine flooring, a cherry kitchen, and harmonious blending of old and new. Boaters, swimmers, and sailors --all will enjoy the deepwater dock and boathouse. Includes mooring, standby generator, and propane heat. Very sure to please!
