Sited high-and-dry overlooking Penobscot Bay, this late mid-century raised ranch enjoys unparalleled views, amazing sunsets, and even a private gravel beach. Complete with its own elevator, this spacious home provides ample area for living and entertaining. A wood burning fireplace, exposed brick, and built-in cabinets add to the modern aesthetic. Other amenities include a large woodshop/ garage, mini split heat pumps, an automatic standby generator, a heat pump water heater, an elevator room (could be 5th bedroom) and an office. Located close to Maine Maritime Academy, Castine, Blue Hill, and Bucksport.
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.
