This classic post-and-beam Cape sits on a one-acre lot with 269 feet of waterfront on Burnt Cove. The property offers sunny southern exposure and western views over Burnt Cove to Penobscot Bay and the Camden Hills. Well-suited for year-round living, the home benefits from a grandfathered location closer to the water than current regulations allow. Large water-facing windows, a southern deck, and a gently sloping lawn leading to the shore make the most of its waterfront setting, with granite outcroppings adding a distinct Stonington touch. The four-bedroom, 1.5-bath home features two living areas, each with its own fireplace—one made from fieldstone and the other from granite gathered on-site. The open kitchen includes a central island and granite countertops, with a remodeled laundry area just off the kitchen. Upstairs are four bedrooms with unique angles, interesting windows, and water views, plus a full bathroom in the hallway. A detached barn provides additional storage and workspace. With docks on neighboring properties and space for a mooring, this property offers great potential for water access. Burnt Cove is a working harbor that blends fishing vessels with pleasure boats. The western-facing views deliver dramatic sunsets and sweeping vistas, connecting the property to Stonington's coastal heritage.
