This lovely three-bedroom, two-bathroom cottage, with a large expansive deck facing the water, was completely remodeled; the home is on two levels, with the primary suite on the lower level with large sliders facing the water. The home is on a lovely country-setting road yet only 5 minute drive to the Yacht club, Golf, and shopping. The home can be used year-round and faces west with stunning sunsets. Private home that looks out to Indian Town Island. The island will not be developed. The home has 241 feet of water frontage and a deep water dock. This allows easy access to the Townsend Gut and entrance to The most beautiful boating in Maine.

Great seasonal cottage with fabulous westerly views of Indiantown Island. A dock with deepwater frontage just steps away. Views of Southport Island to the South and Sawyers Island to the North. The cottage has a view of the Sheepscot from every corner of its open concept space. There is a smaller bedroom for accommodating family and friends. The galley type kitchen is quite functional and convenient to the dining area. A wraparound deck to enjoy all 3 seasons rain or shine. Close to Boothbay Harbor.
