Description
Happiness is ''Surfsong,'' an enchanting Victorian cottage overlooking beautiful Penobscot Bay in the historic seaside community of Temple Heights. Originally built in 1896 but lovingly renovated and maintained by its current owner, this 3-BDR, 3-season retreat is in pristine condition with new exterior paint and updated systems—including a new septic system installed in 2018. The cottage was placed on a full, walk-out foundation in 1998 and could possibly be converted to year-round living.

Originally built in 1896 but lovingly renovated and maintained by its current owner, this 3-BDR, 3-season retreat is in pristine condition with new exterior paint and updated systems—including a new septic system installed in 2018. The cottage was placed on a full, walk-out foundation in 1998 and could possibly be converted to year-round living. Just steps from a community path to the shore for endless days of swimming, kayaking and beach-combing, ''Surfsong'' features an expansive wraparound deck, a second-floor balcony with smashing ocean views, a small den or office, a light, bright studio space and a finished attic sleeping area. Additional amenities include a large backyard with a handsome stone wall and perennial plantings that bloom successively for color throughout the season, a paved driveway, ample parking, a ground-level bedroom with a separate entrance and a Jotul gas stove. Close to Bayside Village with its dock and golf course and convenient to Belfast, Lincolnville Beach and Camden, ''Surfsong'' is roomy enough for all of your family and friends and is also an ideal vacation rental. Showings will begin on Sunday, August 15th, at 10 a.m.
