Two adjacent waterfront lots for a reduced price! Mermaid Cottage is a must-see for the charm and location. Situated on a coastal bluff overlooking picturesque Bass Harbor, this waterfront property has been almost completely renovated. The views from nearly all parts of the house are spectacular all year. Watch the resident Great Blue Heron make her way around the inlet, or the fishing boats heading out for their catch and returning laden with fresh lobsters. Witness awe-inspiring sunsets, the mackerel and stripers playing among the bioluminescence after dark, or simply gaze at the stars, right off your deck. The open floor plan, with a large gourmet kitchen (the previous owner even taught cooking classes!) , dining area, and a comfy living room are all you need to relax, enjoy a good meal, or just snooze in the sunlight. In addition to the cozy bedroom and full bathroom, an elegant yet sturdy spiral staircase leads to a peaked loft area for a second sleeping area or whatever suits your needs. The clean, dry basement is perfect for storage with room enough left for a workshop. The property has been an impeccably maintained seasonal rental for the last 2 years, with a great rental history and excellent reviews. Stay seasonally or stay year round. Or keep it going as an income property and let it pay for itself! Whatever you choose, it's a win!
