Description

Perched above the shore of Harpswell Sound, this classic Cape Cod-style home sets the tone for easy coastal living. With timeless lines and 245 ft of owned ocean frontage, it feels like the kind of place where stories are told, food and drinks are shared, and time slows to match the rhythm of the tides. Inside hardwood floors, formal and informal spaces give you the opportunity to comfortably accommodate everything from a cozy evening to vibrant celebrations.

With timeless lines and 245 ft of owned ocean frontage, it feels like the kind of place where stories are told, food and drinks are shared, and time slows to match the rhythm of the tides. Inside hardwood floors, formal and informal spaces give you the opportunity to comfortably accommodate everything from a cozy evening to vibrant celebrations. The second floor offers a functional layout with a spacious primary bedroom with a walk-in closet, two additional bedrooms and full bath - complete with a double vanity, a custom tile shower and soaking tub overlooking the bay. Tucked above the garage is a bonus room that is a true Maine treasure. With cathedral ceilings, a charming cupola that lets in natural light, and wide pine floors, the space is wrapped floor to ceiling in warm pine paneling - giving it that cozy, cabin-in-the woods feel, right at home. Use the space for your home office away from the pace of the rest of the home or a place to dive into your next hobby. Outside the salt air greets you along with the scent of pine and sounds of the sea. Wander through the trees to a deck perched right at the shoreline, where a set of stairs leads you to the rocks below. It's the perfect launchpad for a morning paddle or an impromptu saltwater dip. As part of the beloved High Head Yacht Club community, you'll have access to a dock and clubhouse just around the bend—so boating out for a sunset cruise or joining friends for a gathering on the water is made easy. Cherished by the same family for the last forty years this is your opportunity to own part of Maine in a beautiful coastal community.
