About This Home

As of May 2024

MOTIVATED SELLERS! Contemporary waterfront artist retreat sits on an elevated site with over 250 feet on Morgan Bay and 3.5 acres in highly sought-after East Blue Hill. Noted sculptor Lenore Thomas Straus built the house and worked here for many years. The next owner had the first floor expanded and redesigned. The current owners have refinished the oak wood floors, installed water remediation, and will pass on the new septic design.
The light-filled first floor offers eat-in kitchen, living/dining room, bedroom, laundry, bath and three-season extra room. The kitchen has tile counter tops, double wall ovens, island with cook top and a wood stove that keeps things cozy. The many windows in the beamed living room provide expansive views of the ever-changing bay. The second floor is reached by a spiral staircase and offers even more views of Morgan Bay. The eclectic floor plan upstairs, with its cathedral-ceilinged studio and sleeping spot, will inspire your creativity. An attached rustic seasonal guest quarters with wood stove and deck to enjoy the outdoor views is another bonus to this property. A staircase down to the beach provides easy access to the water for kayaking or swimming. Only minutes to the center of Blue Hill or Ellsworth with ample opportunity to enjoy all the cultural and outdoors activities. The many shops and restaurants are another high point of the area. This property boasts the perfect location for all seasons.
