This well built home faces west (sunsets!) over the Damariscotta River and is located in one of the area's finest, quiet neighborhoods in the Walpole section of Bristol. Custom-built, the home is part Cape, part Contemporary and part Mid-Century Modern, featuring spacious rooms including a kitchen/family room combination with access to a screened-in porch overlooking the Damariscotta River. An elegant living room features built-ins and a woodburning fireplace and opens onto the expansive waterside deck. Additionally, there's a den with a woodstove hookup and water views which also opens onto the deck, plus a Primary Suite with views and deck access. There is also a separate private two-bedroom guest wing sharing a full bath. The detached garage has a workshop and plenty of storage space above. The rear entrance is a classic Maine ''mud room'' with a utility sink, large walk-in pantry with great storage. A full house generator provides a nice sense of comfort. Spending time outside is a pleasure, with an active babbling brook running alongside the house, emptying out into the river. A staircase winds down to the dock and float (which will require some updating). Just minutes from the village center and award winning local hospital in one direction and a fine golf course and beach, as well as the famed Pemaquid Point Lighthouse, in the other. This home is a real find! --
