The spacious home (3800 sq ft) offers over 450' of bold deep coastline, and privileges to the nearby beach and another common lot. The range of seascape vistas overlook Islesboro, and distant mountains, with the ever changing sails, yachts, ships and working fishing boats that pass by. The area, long known, not only for it's waterway, but for it's serene and magical environment as discovered by artist, novelist and many others. The home offers, breakfast nook off the kitchen, formal dining room, oversized living room with wood burning fireplace, an art studio, or bedroom on the second floor, primary bedroom suite, and oversized library (or bedroom). This home has potential to be exquisite with modern updates and thus the list price which reflects just that.
