About This Home

Nestled on a 1.77-acre elevated lot with 248 feet of rocky shoreline and a sandy beach, this serene island retreat blends privacy with accessibility. Just a short boat ride from Portland and Falmouth, it offers the perfect balance of seclusion and convenience. Highlights include a deep-water dock, a private beach ideal for sea glass hunting, and an in-ground pool with sweeping water views—this property is a rare island gem. The quintessential cottage-style home exudes character, featuring 7 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms across a spacious layout designed for year-round living. The main level includes a large family kitchen ideal for gatherings, a formal dining room, a sunlit living room, and a generous family room. The primary bedroom suite is located on this floor, along with a cozy sitting room that connects to an additional bedroom, and 1.5 bathrooms for added functionality. Original wood interiors and charming fireplaces preserve the home's historic soul, while thoughtful updates, attached garage, and expanded living space ensure everyday ease. Upstairs, five additional bedrooms and two full bathrooms provide ample space for guests and family. Two sunrooms, a large deck, and a poolside lounging area invite you to soak in the ocean breeze and stunning sunset views. The expansive yard and beach are perfect for outdoor games, waterfront recreation, and peaceful evenings under the stars. Whether hosting a crowd or savoring quiet moments, this property is Maine island living at its finest.
