Description
Discover classic island living in this charming 1870 late Victorian-era New England farmhouse, privately set on approximately 6.8+/- acres of open meadow and woodland just north of Big Tree Beach. Sweeping easterly views extend across East Penobscot Bay toward Cape Rosier, Castine, and beyond, while a cleared woodland path and recently built boardwalk lead to approximately 560' of protected pebble beach at Billy's Shore-a peaceful cove between Fire Island and Northeast Point that is ideal for beachcombing, relaxing, and boating access. The approximately 1,636-square-foot home offers two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a flexible bonus room, first-floor laundry, and large sliding glass doors opening to a spacious, recently expanded deck overlooking the bay. Recent improvements include foundation and attic insulation, several new Andersen windows, new roof shingles, first-floor flooring, a new hot water heater, an improved boardwalk to the beach, and a more open bedroom layout. A 24-by-24-foot detached garage and workshop, along with a 12-by-12-foot shed, provide excellent storage and workspace-an inviting coastal retreat with character, privacy, and exceptional water access.
