One row back from the western shoreline of Harpswell Sound on Bailey Island, this lovely property has tremendous water views and dramatic sunsets. The rambling home started with a cottage built in either the 1940's or 50's and proceeds through several additions through the next 3 generations and 4 decades to what it is today. Solidly built, it has fifteen rooms on 3 levels and a 2-car garage. In addition to the expected rooms, it contains a large paneled library, a theater room, a paneled office, and multiple choices for bedrooms with most rooms enjoying views of the water. This property will nicely accommodate multi-generational families and owners who love to have guests visit from afar. Stroll to multiple restaurants, send kids to the beach, and walk the dog in the neighborhood!
