The Boat House is a charming and wonderfully unique waterfront property in Harpswell, Maine, where coastal living and classic nautical style match up. This 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom home has water views, multiple levels of decks, and the chance to kayak, swim, and fish right from your private dock. Eagles, Great Blue Herons, Snowy Egrets, and seals love this location just as much. Inside is a light-filled layout with unique touches including a built in bench style dining area, stained glass, sliding barn doors, a full finished basement with gas fireplace, and plenty of space for guests. A fully fenced in yard makes the exterior feel private and protected. The home has seen both mechanical and cosmetic updates, making it move-in ready while keeping its classic Maine character. Watch the sunrise over Gurnet Strait every morning, enjoy summer dinners on the deck, and store all your gear with ease thanks to abundant storage and additional parking and storage across the street. Some of the furniture is available also, making your move a little easier! Located in a coastal community with low Harpswell taxes, The Boat House is perfect as a year round home or weekend escape. Come enjoy the simple, peaceful rhythm of life by the sea.
