About This Home

Enjoy the afternoon sea breeze on a private deck set along 492 +/- feet of shoreline. From your very own beach area, take in the sweeping views up and down Taunton Bay ... all within 5.67 +/- acres of pristine Maine woods. Perfect settings for those seeking a private & lengthy shoreline with the convenience of a neat & tidy modern turnkey home. This gem has numerous quality features and an open floor-plan giving most rooms a water view. Granite counter-tops, tile & wood floors, and a double vanity in the bathroom of the master suite are some of the luxury items. The 3-season enclosed porch on the water side provides a great space to entertain guests while the waves are lapping at the nearby beach area. A paradise of rural costal living with the nearby amenities of Ellsworth only minutes away. Plus, quick drives to Bar Harbor, Acadia National Park (MDI), and Schoodic Point.
