About This Home
As of February 2021This private oceanfront Shingle-style cottage enjoys spectacular western views across Penobscot Bay to the Camden Hills. Built in 1993, the elegant three-bedroom residence was designed by architect John Silverio and features a light-filled open floor plan centered around an impressive Russian brick fireplace. A classic wraparound porch, a rooftop widow's-walk, and impeccable craftsmanship are among its distinguished details. The surrounding 11.64+/- acres of wooded property includes 2,403+/- feet of shorefront on Penobscot Bay with a private sand and pebble beach and a deep-water mooring. In addition to the main residence, there is also a newly built guest cottage/studio affectionately known as Two Nights, with a one-bedroom apartment on the second level and a two-vehicle garage and large open studio below. Additional 3.58+/- acres of abutting land is being offered separately.
