About This Home

As of December 2021

The views of Belfast Harbor are truly fabulous from this in-town, cottage-style home that's uniquely situated overlooking Steamboat Landing Park and bordered on two sides by Belfast Commons Park. Built in 1911, and owned by the same family for 71 years, this cozy, 3-bedroom gem offers a ringside seat for watching sailboats, yachts and lobster boats as they pass by and is just steps from the Harbor Walk, a public pocket beach with kayak storage, a small amphitheater, a gazebo, comfy park benches and pretty perennial plantings. It's also a quick stroll to downtown shops, restaurants, the Farmers' Market and other amenities. From its perch at the end of Pearl St., this
home has seen many changes on the waterfront and is ready for new owners to update it and make it their own. Being sold in 'As Is' condition.
