Sited high and dry overlooking Penobscot Bay, this mid-century ranch-style home commands truly exceptional views, unforgettable sunsets, and even its own private gravel beach. Designed for both comfortable living and easy entertaining, this home offers a spacious open-concept first floor complemented by additional finished living space in the basement. Architectural details such as modern fireplaces, exposed brick, built-in cabinetry, high ceilings, and skylights add character throughout. Amenities include an oversized garage, mini-split heat pumps, a propane standby generator, a first-floor primary bedroom, a paved driveway, a newer heating system, and a surveyed lot. Ideally located near Maine Maritime Academy, Castine, Blue Hill, and Bucksport. 30 min to Ellsworth, and just under an hour from Bar Harbor / Acadia National Park
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.
