A true paradise, this protected cove is the perfect spot to kayak, canoe, or drop a fishing line. When the tide goes out, you can explore the exposed shoreline and uncover tide pools. Restore the beauty of this single-level, classic cottage or use the structure as a blank canvas to reconfigure as you choose. Windows in the front provide a sunny spot to sit & relax. Enter the home to find wood floors and an open living space centered around a woodstove. Toward the back of the home, you will find the bathroom, bedroom, and kitchen with a door to the backyard. The spacious yard offers plenty of room for games, gardens, and a large storage shed for all your outdoor gear. The outdoor space is a dream for anyone who appreciates natural beauty and a refreshing salty breeze. Westerly views over the cove provide spectacular sunsets. Meander through the yard and discover a rich tapestry of perennials, waiting to be manicured back into your own secret garden. With a little love and landscaping, this hidden spot will quickly become your favorite place to unwind. Enjoy the best of a relaxed coastal lifestyle, with local flavor right at your fingertips. When you are ready to explore, you can get a perfectly crafted latte at the Itty-Bitty Coffee Shop and enjoy waterfront dining at the Dolphin Marina & Restaurant. Collect shells while strolling the beach at Mitchell Field, enjoy an ice cream or lobster roll at Pammy's, or pick one of the local land trust trails to explore with miles of water views. The home is close to the general store for any last-minute items and less than 30 minutes from Brunswick, where you'll find shopping, theaters, museums, golf courses, and a vibrant downtown. This is more than just a home; it is a gateway to the relaxed Maine lifestyle you have been seeking.
