Set on 5.58 acres encompassing three lots--one of which may be dividable--this expansive Cape is a treasure. With 5-6 bedrooms, 3 full baths and 1 half bath, the home offers remarkable flexibility for family and guests. Warm hardwood flooring, ceramic tile and two fireplaces create a welcoming atmosphere throughout. The kitchen features an oversized granite island, ideal for gathering and entertaining. New sliding glass doors from the kitchen and upstairs family room open directly onto the full-length rear deck, creating easy indoor-outdoor living while showcasing breathtaking westerly views of the Damariscotta River. The walkout lower level greatly expands the living space with a second family room featuring a fireplace and new sliding glass doors to the outside and a dedicated game room along with 1-2 additional bedrooms, a full bath, a large workshop and an abundance of storage space. On the third floor you'll find three bedrooms, all with water views, a full bath, and more storage. The attached three-car garage, plus separate tractor garage, and a large loft area above offers abundant space for vehicles, boats, equipment and toys. An automatic whole-house generator and an extensive list of recent improvements provide peace of mind. Outside, enjoy your own private dock and double float, including two moorings. A rare waterfront home offering acreage and privacy and direct access to one of Midcoast Maine's most treasured waterways, yet only five minutes to downtown Damariscotta, where you'll find fine restaurants, galleries, grocery shopping and more. In the other direction, drive 15 minutes and find yourself at one of the nicest beaches on the Midcoast, Pemaquid Lighthouse, the Rachel Carson Salt Pond Preserve and hiking preserves. Such a location!
