Tranquility is located just past the Castine Lighthouse on fashionable Dyce's Head Road. It is bordered by Witherle Woods conservation land on three sides. The house looks out across beautiful Penobscot Bay, with sweeping views of Islesboro and the scenic Camden Hills. Tranquility is situated on a private road at the end of the peninsula, has very few neighbors, and is nestled in an extremely quiet location. The home has four levels. There is a daylight basement on the water side, with a one-car garage, workshop, utility room, and half bath. On the main floor, Tranquility features a large kitchen (with gas range and dishwasher); a beautiful combination living room /dining room (with fireplace) that looks out over the water; a study; and a full bath. There are two bedrooms, third room, and a full bath, with laundry, on the second floor, and two additional rooms on the third floor. Also, there is magnificent wide-board pine flooring throughout the top three floors of the house; a wrap-around deck with panoramic ocean views that is ideal for entertaining; indoor and outdoor parking; satellite TV and hi-speed Internet connection; and a private backyard that is great for grilling and cook-outs. In sum, Tranquility is an impressive property located in one of the most exclusive neighborhoods that the Castine community has to offer.
