Located on tidal Long Cove with water access to Casco Bay for roughly six hours around high tide, this home is a dream for kayakers, birdwatchers, and anyone who loves being on the water. Enjoy swimming right from the lawn, easy access from the private dock, and the opportunity to obtain a deep-water mooring. Just 5 minutes from historic Bath and 20 minutes from Popham State Beach and Reid State Park, this property offers the perfect balance of seclusion and convenience. A special bonus: the home was purchased from the estate of a well-known local artist who used it as his studio for painting and sculpture. Originally built in the 1920s, the home was thoughtfully remodeled in 2007 with updated plumbing, electrical wiring, interior walls, exterior cedar shingles, and modern systems while preserving its classic Maine charm. Pella wood-clad double-hung windows fill the home with natural light and showcase protected waterfront views. The kitchen features stainless-steel appliances updated in 2024, including dishwasher, self-cleaning range, and refrigerator. A new washer and dryer were installed in 2025, and the laundry area includes a 220V and water connection. Comfort is ensured year-round with full insulation, a propane furnace installed in 2016, and a cozy Jøtul propane stove in the living room. An on-demand generator provides added peace of mind, and a full cement basement offers excellent storage and utility space. The attic includes enough ¾" tongue-and-groove solid teak flooring to create a beautiful future studio or creative space, with possible build-up potential for additional expansion. The seller will consider including some furnishings, creating a rare turn-key opportunity on one of West Bath's most picturesque coves. Experience the beauty of Maine's central seacoast with a waterfront retreat unlike any other.
