22 Dodge Mountain Rd, Rockland, ME 04841

Being on top of the world in Rockland Maine – overlooking Penobscot Bay and it's many, many pristine islands and then, blue mountains when your eyes meet the horizon – is a real privilege afforded to the few who choose to call Dodge Mountain their home. Located just minutes from Rockland's historic and chic downtown area, this serene retreat sits on almost 7 private acres with 180 degrees of unobstructed ocean views, framed by carefully maintained groves of hard and softwoods. Not too big and not too small, the house has 'stop-in your-tracks' views from virtually every room – light floods in, regardless of the weather and creates a space that is truly comfortable, functional and livable. A master suite with a newly renovated bath (the views from your custom shower are stunning) and two additional bedrooms with a shared full bath fill the upstairs. Downstairs is a living room with a large fireplace adjacent to the dining room area – the renovated kitchen, with its calm and modern styling, is open to both of these areas. All floors are wide 'pumpkin-pine', a tip of the cap to the traditional Sea Captain Houses that are iconic in Midcoast Maine. The kitchen, entryways and baths are custom tile. Detail work like the coffered ceilings and custom built-ins make it feel refined without being overly formal. A half-bath, multi-purpose laundry room and all-season breezeway leading to the two car garage round out the first floor. The garage has storage above and a heated workshop. You'll see schooners and lobster boats leave the harbor, ferries sail in and out from the islands, Owls Head Lighthouse and the Breakwater and its famous lighthouse, keeping boaters of all kinds safe. You can see down into the Mussel Ridge Channel, out into the Fox Island Thoroughfare and way Downeast. .. your bird's eye view from both inside and outside this classically-styled house is breathtaking and enviable.
