Set along the peaceful shores of Taunton Bay, this tranquil waterfront retreat is tucked near the end of a quiet road, where passing cars feel a world away. Featuring three bedrooms, one and a half baths, and water views from every living space, one can pour their morning coffee, watch sunlight dance across the Bay, and step onto the deck with a favorite book - or stroll down to shore for a kayaking trip and a chance to spot seals, otters, and ospreys. Imagine lawn games with family and friends, sunset grilling, and gathering around your waterfront firepit for s'mores. Recent improvements include a new generator, new tankless hot water heater, new heat pumps, and a new roof. The Settlers Landing subdivision provides a nice neighborhood mix of seasonal and year-round residents, and this property's location near the end of the road makes it feel wonderfully removed from the hustle-bustle. Enjoy the best of Downeast Maine with Ellsworth so close by and easy access to the Schoodic Peninsula, Acadia National Park, and two regional airports. Come for the waterfront - stay for the feeling of having found your own special corner of the Maine coast!
Tastefully decorated, contemporary cape on a double lot on Taunton Bay. Charming rooms include an open kitchen, dining, and new sun-space addition with separate living room all opening out to a beautiful water front deck overlooking raised gardens and bay. Two charming second-floor bedrooms with dormers on water side with window seats in each room. All rooms with water views. Finished lower level room with views to bay which is great guest space. Steps to flat granite shoreline. A wonderful property inside and out to enjoy in all seasons.
