Contemporary cape on 4.59 acres with 325 feet of southerly frontage on the Damariscotta River, a 15 mile-long estuary of the Atlantic, ideal for kayaking and famous around the world for its amazing oysters! The residence is located on a quiet lane, well away from Route 1 and is adjacent to the 50-acre Damariscotta River Association Salt Bay Farm with its numerous water vistas and nature trails. The design of the house features 1,832 square feet of living space with a comfortable living room large enough for a grand piano, a well-designed kitchen, 4-season solarium with water views, upstairs master bedroom and bath, a second bedroom, a second bath, and an attached 2-car garage. Sheltered by towering oaks, there's an easy walking trail from the residence to the waterfront. From house or shore, you'll enjoy spectacular water views year round!
