South Bristol is a quiet unspoiled gem on the coast of Maine, known for its maritime history and coastal charm. The serene sound of water rippling against the shore, the smell of fresh salt air, birdwatching and expansive views up and down the river, is a true sanctuary for those who seek a peaceful escape by the water. This 1930's waterfront cottage offers everything you could want in a coastal retreat. It feels like home the moment you step inside, built in bookshelves, wood floors, stone fireplace and a large window facing the river in the living room all add to the charm. The kitchen has high end stainless appliances including a wolf cookstove and Bosch refrigerator and dishwasher. There are 3 bedrooms, full bath, basement and unfinished attic space. The covered porch is a highlight of this property, offering a spot for morning coffee, light lunch or entertaining while enjoying the sounds of nature, the occasional boaters passing by and the perfect way to end your day with stunning westerly sunsets. Leave your boat, kayak or canoe at the private dock which is only a few steps away from the porch. The stone bordered lawn has granite steps at each end and a border of Astilbes and Peonies for vibrant color. There is a stone patio at the back end of house and nice outbuilding for added storage to help eliminate clutter. Local amenities and attractions are nearby. A short boat ride on the river to open ocean, the Boothbay peninsula or up river to Damariscotta for dining, shopping and exploration. With permit approval the possibility of 30 percent expansion is an option. The Lot #28 has a railway for float during winter months. This could be the home you've been searching for the occasional getaway on the water or make it your year round home.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
