The prime location of this home offers a rare opportunity to own waterfront property within walking distance of the charming villages of Newcastle and Damariscotta. Crabapples arch over the entrance walk that leads to the front door. Upon entering the house, a gracious living room with large fireplace, built-in custom cabinetry and windows overlooking the harbor is to the left and the open plan kitchen, family, and dining room is to your right. This area opens onto the multilevel deck that provides access to the rolling lawn leading to your private dock on the beautiful Damariscotta River. The ground level features an expansive family room with built-in bookshelves, a large wine cellar, and a potting room or small workshop. Sliding doors lead directly onto the lawn and garden area. Upstairs is a cozy sitting area and four bedrooms, including a primary bedroom with harbor views, an ensuite bathroom and large walk-in closet. Attic space offers excellent storage. The home includes a two-bay garage with even more storage above.
