About This Home
As of June 2020It was a dream of theirs, for a long time, to have a place on the water; it would be quaint and the front deck would afford them unstoppable views of bustling Rockland Harbor, the day beginning and ending over Owls Head and the pristine horizon of Penobscot Bay. The house would be charming with its own private beach perfect for twilight fires, launching kayaks, swimming and fishing at any tide. They would sit on the deck and watch schooners leave in the morning and return as the day grew long; Rockland's Main Street was just 5 minutes away if they wanted to grab coffee and a newspaper in the morning, take in a live performance or grab dinner after a day on the water. Conveniences were close by, but you wouldn't know it; their little waterside charmer sat tucked away from it all, under soaring trees lush with leaves but nestled in the middle of it all – the best of both worlds. Now, it's time for someone else to cherish this sweet 2 bedroom, 1.5 bath cottage. The cottage sits on almost two-thirds of an acre on a bluff above 95 feet of private water frontage. A staircase leads from the front yard down to a grassy landing and then continuing to the beach. The interior of the house is uncomplicated and perfectly 'cottage-y' with stunning views from virtually every window. The basement level is finished, daylight and walkout with its own incredible views and ready to be turned into another living space...think living room, master bedroom or office. A large level lawn and a two car garage round things out nicely. The name of this relaxing, peaceful waterside safe-haven has been 'Siren on the Sea' and now it's calling you home to Maine.
