Description

''The Overlook'' is a circa 1890 coastal shingle home on Orr's Island that enjoys panoramic views of Harpswell Sound to the west and views of the ocean to the east. It overlooks mooring fields for the Orrs-Bailey Yacht Club, the osprey's nest on the channel marker and marine traffic of all sorts. Sunrises over the ocean are magnificent with morning coffee, and afternoon activities in the house and on the deck are colored by vivid sunsets.

It overlooks mooring fields for the Orrs-Bailey Yacht Club, the osprey's nest on the channel marker and marine traffic of all sorts. Sunrises over the ocean are magnificent with morning coffee, and afternoon activities in the house and on the deck are colored by vivid sunsets. The house has been significantly updated, while also preserving its best features. Hardwood floors are found throughout the house. Enjoy the cozy living room with Jotul propane stove, new south-facing sunlit windows and French doors leading to a dining room with vintage built-ins. A 4-season sunroom opens to the new low-maintenance deck overlooking the Sound. The renovated kitchen features all new flooring, ceiling, cabinets, appliances, quartz countertops, an induction range and a west-facing bay window with window seat. A den/hobby room and a renovated full bathroom with walk-in shower complete the rest of the first floor. Two staircases--front and back--serve the upstairs with its three bedrooms, full bathroom and large hall closet. The primary bedroom enjoys a dressing area with walk-in closet, south-facing windows and panoramic views of the Sound. Outside, the backyard meanders downhill with a large portion fenced in with grass and an automatic whole-house generator. A rainwater catchment system next to the house provides water for the gardens. Enjoy a home with space for everything and touches of elegance--surrounded by the sea--where even chores seem like a vacation!
