Southport - Beach Property For Sale #5178662

One of Southport Island's iconic antique waterfront capes is ready for new stewards. Since the 1850's this classic has stood watch at the head of Love''s Cove. Safe and protected from the rigors of the ocean's stormy wrath, this property is gently wrapped on three sides by 600' of salt water. The current owner has lavished care and love on this home including extensive pollinator perennial gardens. From the cozy library to the gracious living room to the waterfront dining room and sun porch, this house flows beautifully. The kitchen is truly retro! Wooden cabinets flank original Thermadore stove top and double ovens. If retro is not your thing, there is plenty of room to upgrade into the waterview kitchen of your dreams. Four bedrooms (2 up and 2 down) offer plenty of room for visiting guests and grands. First floor primary bedroom enjoys a dedicated dressing room and private full bath. The first floor guest room also has a full bath. Multiple waterview decks surround the home inviting the outside in. A separate seasonal artist studio doubles as boat storage and could be a really cool woodworking shop. The tidal dock is the perfect setting to launch kayaks, canoes, sunfish and swimmers. Located minutes from the Botanical Gardens, the beach, golf course and all things Boothbay Harbor. Just over an hour to the airport, this pristine classic offers unparalleled peace, cool summer breezes and a sense of ''simply enough'' that remains Maine's hallmark.
