Welcome to 91 Bay Shore Road located on beautiful Westport Island! Westport Island is accessed through the village of Wiscasset by a bridge so don't let the word island scare you. The property is stunning as you meander towards the cottage with rock landscaping, a well designed way to control the flow of rain water and peaceful green areas with 1.5 acres to call your own. The property offers over 150 feet of owned water frontage on Montsweag Bay with long sweeping views and the highly coveted western exposure for unbelievable sunsets that you can enjoy from the house or the covered porch. The 2010 cottage with most furnishings included in the sale was built with the ease of maintenance free living in mind, that way you can come and enjoy without the hassle of fixing and maintaining. Inside the cottage you will find an open layout with a wall of windows facing the bay. You can enjoy the view from almost everywhere in the house. Gorgeous wood floors and exposed beams give the feel of an older cottage with character. You will sit in the living room and wonder why anyone would ever want to watch television when you have sweeping views and all that nature has to offer. The first floor bathroom offers a well thought out tile shower with glass, beautiful tile floors and a stackable washer/dryer. The loft style sleeping area is on the 2nd floor and has enough space for a small office or reading nook. The views from the second floor are just as beautiful and you may never want to leave. The cottage offers a full basement which houses the propane direct vent furnace, the on-demand water heater and enough space for storage. Need more storage or a work shop? The detached garage is oversized and offers another loft area. Expansion is possible with the 3 b/r septic in place. All this with the benefit of low taxes, being close to plenty of nature preserves in the region, state parks, beaches and a public town landing/boat launch just down the road. Truly a move in ready property!
