About This Home
As of August 2023Welcome to 57 Southern Bay Road, - a one-of-a-kind property anchored in an incredible New England tradition! This charming two-bedroom, two-bathroom Antique Cape is set in the village of Penobscot overlooking 565ft of shore frontage on Northern Bay. Revel in the bucolic vistas of lupine fields, sea heather, and the romance of the Maine coast. This home has been lovingly cared for by the same family since 1948. Inside is freshly painted while retaining many antique accents. In the spacious living area, a lovely fireplace provides the opportunity for a warm and inviting touch. A two-car garage with loft space and a separate woodworking shop offer endless possibilities. An automatic generator assures you'll never be left in the dark and adds an extra bit of security to your new home. Outside, from your private patio off the kitchen door, enjoy quiet reflection while looking out over the beautiful lupine to the idyllic views of Northern Bay. Step from there, into a ''secret garden'' that provides an opportunity to reclaim once dotingly cared for flower beds. Along the path to the shore you will find a beautiful natural spring where you can enjoy unfiltered water, straight from the source. Explore the ever changing shoreline of Northern Bay, and look forward to the blooming of the sea heather during summer months. Life at 57 Southern Bay Road, is unlike anything else, offering a unique opportunity to preserve a decades-long family legacy and create your own special place in the world. May it bring you a lifetime of joy and peace.
