About This Home

In an exceptional location on Bay View Street, one of Camden's most sought-after neighborhoods, Whitecaps is an spectacular waterfront estate with sweeping views across Penobscot Bay and its islands. Set on 3.43± acres with 225± feet of shorefront, the property combines a contemporary Shingle-style main residence with the amenities of a fine Maine coastal retreat, including a guest house, tennis court, swimming pool, and a deep-water dock. The five-bedroom main house is comfortable and elegant, with distinctive architectural details such as rounded ceilings, curved alcoves, and interior balconies, all well-maintained and in excellent condition. A wraparound, multi-level deck connects the two-bedroom guest house to the main residence and creates a variety of inviting spaces for outdoor living and entertaining around the pool. At the end of a gated, winding drive, the beautifully landscaped grounds feature mature trees, flowering gardens, professional stonework, and steps leading to the accessible rocky shorefront. With its private estate setting, top-quality amenities, and deep-water dock on Camden Harbor, Whitecaps offers a rare combination of quintessential waterfront living in one of the Midcoast's premier neighborhoods.
