Beautifully remodeled and thoughtfully updated, this custom-built Cape set on 8.5 acres with 415 feet of ocean frontage on Little Kennebec Bay offers a perfect blend of modern comfort and coastal Maine beauty. Enjoy water views, launch a kayak from your shoreline, or relax on the deck overlooking the ever changing tides and surrounding wildlife. Mature trees, rolling lawn areas, gardens, a small pond, and a footpath to the shore create a peaceful and private setting. The spacious home offers three bedrooms, 2.5 baths, an eat-in kitchen with pantry, formal dining room, library/den, living room, and family room. There is ample space for both year-round and seasonal living. Several rooms capture beautiful water views, and an unfinished second-floor bonus room and walk-out basement provide additional potential for expanded living space. A two-bay garage is located beneath the home. Conveniently located on a town-maintained road just minutes from Machias and the surrounding Downeast coastline, the property provides easy access to hiking, kayaking, beaches, and the natural beauty that defines this remarkable region of Maine.
