    What's special

    This exceptional property offers a rare blend of natural beauty and coastal living. Nestled just five minutes from the historic charm of Bath, ten minutes from Bowdoin College, and twenty minutes from stunning Popham State Beach and Reid State Park, this property strikes the perfect balance between seclusion and convenience. Located on the picturesque tidal Long Cove, this home boasts direct access to Casco Bay. It's an ideal destination for water enthusiasts, including kayakers, birdwatchers, swimmers, and anyone who cherishes the tranquility of the water. The private dock and the opportunity to secure a deep-water mooring are added perks. Originally constructed in the 1920s, this home underwent a thoughtful renovation in 2007. The renovation incorporated updated plumbing, electrical wiring, interior walls, exterior cedar shingles, and modern systems while preserving its classic Maine charm. Pella wood-clad double-hung windows flood the home with natural light, offering protected waterfront views. The kitchen is equipped with stainless-steel appliances that were updated in 2024. The current owner has resided here comfortably year-round for several years. The home's comfort is ensured through full insulation, a propane furnace installed in 2016, and a cozy Jøtul propane stove in the living room. An on-demand generator adds an extra layer of peace of mind. A spacious cement basement offers ample storage and utility space. The attic features sufficient ¾" tongue-and-groove solid teak flooring, providing the potential for a beautiful future studio or creative space, with possible build up potential for future expansion. The seller is open to including some furnishings, presenting a rare turn-key opportunity on one of West Bath's most picturesque coves. Whether you envision this property as a weekend getaway, a year-round living space, or a rental property, it's your chance to experience the beauty of Mid-coast Maine with a waterfront retreat that truly stands out.
