About This Home

As of October 2020

Enjoy working from home? A few steps beyond the backdoor, you will find a wonderful studio building that is ideal for a separate business. This historic Greek Revival home has been thoughtfully updated over the years with new chef's kitchen complete with generous pantry. The formal living room captures the morning sun, boasts built-in bookcase and wonderful wood-burning fireplace for a cozy ambiance in winter. Entertaining and family dinners are most enjoyable in the formal dining room with sunset views over Day's Cove. Original woodwork & trim remain throughout the home. Storage galore with a full walk-up attic! The separate studio building is currently used as a photographer's studio. Measuring 20' x 20' with ample parking lot, loft and spiral staircase. An ideal option for a home business or as a commercial rental space. Private water frontage on the Damariscotta River with high-tide access a few steps across the grassy backyard. Explore the many coves and preserves along the Damariscotta River in a kayak or on a stand-up paddleboard. Enjoy in-town living with the recent completion of the wide sidewalk on Bristol Road connecting the LincolnHealth campus to Main Street. A short walk to the library, theater, restaurants, galleries and specialty shops. When venturing a bit further on a bike or in a car, Pemaquid Beach and Wawanock golf course are just 15 minutes down the peninsula. Less than an hour to the JetPort in Portland, 30 minutes to hiking in the Camden Hills and the Farnsworth Art Museum in Rockland. A must see property!
