Not just a charming New England home...the quintessential 4-season Maine oceanfront experience in the heart of Corea Village, a working waterfront community. The great room with eat-in kitchen, stone fireplace and sitting room opens onto a brick patio leading to raised bed gardens and the ocean beyond. Another living room stays cozy with its own brick fireplace and ocean views from both sides. Lobster boats are so close you can speak to the folks on board. An entry with lots of closet space and laundry, a full bath and bedroom with ocean views complete the first floor allowing for easy one-story living. The second floor has four additional bedrooms (including two king-sized) plus a full bath with tub. Home has been renovated for modern comfort while honoring its origins- see the long list of improvements! Every room in this home (except the two bathrooms) have wide-open ocean views. A stand-alone garage to store your toys or car completes the buildings. Gorgeous pink granite shoreline frames the more than 680' of direct Atlantic Ocean access with your own beach from which to launch your kayaks. An oceanfront private point at one end of the property is out of a dream. The large, level acre leaves lots of room for kicking or throwing a ball, playing frisbee, or just hanging out. Paddle to any one of numerous close-by islands and explore. Crowley beach, a 5-minute walk across Crowley Island, is like having a private Acadia right in your backyard! Wait for low tide and, when the sand bars appear, go island hopping. Watch the lobster boats return to Corea Harbor and the sunset over Cadillac Mountain. Hungry? Walk to picturesque Corea Harbor for lunch. Want a longer hike? Head to beautiful Schoodic Point just minutes away. Want to grab lunch in Bar Harbor? Head to Winter Harbor for a wonderful ferry ride which drops you right at the Bar Harbor Inn. All this and a welcoming nature and art-loving community. Your biggest challenge will be to think of a reason to leave.
