21 Harpswell Islands Road, Harpswell, ME 04079

The ocean is out back, the world is out front. This big bright airy home offers panoramic views over the Gurnet strait. Do not hit the lobster traps with your pitching wedge. For boaters, your private dock and mooring offer direct access to Casco Bay and beyond. Out front, shopping is five minutes away. Downtown and Bowdoin College are 10 minutes, Portland 30 and the Jetport 40. You have four spacious bedrooms & four baths. There is also a lovely, newly renovated guest cottage tucked away on a corner of the property, providing ample room for family & friends. The office could also be a totally separate apartment, with a private entrance. The freshly painted interior is warm and inviting, with beautifully refinished pine flooring. The kitchen has granite countertops, a professional Wolf stove and a generous pantry. A standout feature is the primary suite, with its arched windows and sizeable bathroom with a large whirlpool. A versatile guest suite includes bedroom, bathroom, and both a large spare room and a separate dressing area, offering comfort & privacy for your guests. All of the bedrooms overlook the water, as does part of the large office. The great room and dining area are both anchored by fine art. In the great room, the fireplace is by Jeff Gammelin of Freshwater Stone (references: Robert Venturi, David Rockefeller). The dining area features cabinetry by Lynette Breton (references: Norton Simon Museum, Fine Woodworking Magazine). The home sits on over an acre, mostly level then sloping to 400 feet of Gurnet Strait frontage. The elevation makes it safe from floods and, for future generations, rising sea levels. This house offers an exceptional mix of space, beauty and convenience. Your home is totally oriented towards the water, with the world right outside your front door.
