21 Water St, Damariscotta, ME 04543

The Loft is a recently renovated rustic carriage house adjacent to an old family summer home that we call The Yellow House. We welcome guests at The Yellow House during the summer but close the home for the winter from Sept to May. The Loft is a winterized two story home with two bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor. The second floor is an open concept with a full kitchen, dining area and a second bathroom. The third sleeping area is a loft that can be accessed from the second floor. The property has a unique blend of privacy, natural beauty, and convenience. Enjoy a quiet sunset over the water from the two West-facing balconies, steps away from Damariscotta's charming downtown. A massive sloping lawn flanked by mature trees provide cover for noise and sight-lines creating a sense of seclusion, despite the proximity to town. A quick two minute walk down a quiet side-street provides access to Damariscotta's restaurants, shops, galleries, and bars, a local movie theater, and a lovely bookstore. Pop out for a coffee and pastries in the morning, grab a lobster roll for lunch, enjoy renowned Pemaquid Oysters and a beer at Schooner Landing in the evening, or take a walk after dinner for an ice cream cone. We hope you enjoy this relaxing retreat as much as we do. The house has 2 bedrooms in total and can sleep up to 6 people. Bedroom 1: First floor, king bed (new as of 2018) Bedroom 2: First floor, queen bed (new as of 2018) Bedroom 3: Loft on second floor, queen bed There are 2 bathrooms.
