Set on 2.1 acres overlooking a tidal cove off Eggemoggin Reach, this circa-1900 Cape sits in a welcoming waterfront setting in Brooklin. With approximately 3,689 square feet and seven bedrooms, the home provides generous space for everyday living and visiting guests. The first-floor primary bedroom includes a walk-in closet and full bathroom. Three additional full bathrooms are upstairs, with a half bath downstairs. A new woodstove insert in the living room helps keep the house feeling cozy, and the screened porch and deck are good places to relax and watch the changing tide. The property includes approximately 109 feet of owned waterfront, with a well-maintained float and ramp providing access to the water. There is also a detached two-car garage and an additional outbuilding with storage and room for projects. Since 2022, improvements include new roofs on the house and garage, exterior painting, a generator, water filtration, new oil tanks, and a heat pump water heater. Kitchen updates include new counters, a sink, and appliances. A new leach field, interior painting, landscaping, and driveway improvements round out the recent work. Close to Friend Memorial Library, village stores and restaurants, and the yacht club, this home is well connected to Brooklin's community and life on the water.
