The airy, beam framed living space make it feel so much larger than the dimensions. That, and the primary bedroom have front row seats to Basin Cove. A tidy kitchen, guest room, full bath and laundry round out the main floor. The walk out lower level gives you options! Make it another living space, studio or a cool nap spot. While designated as 'seasonal' by the town, that doesn't mean just summer! The property has been enjoyed in spring, summer, fall AND winter. Harpswell deems seasonal as around 9 months' worth of use in whatever seasons you choose. Second chances don't come along often. Through no fault of the property - this sweet spot is ready for its new owners.
