This well-maintained and cared for property seemingly has it all! Inside you'll find everything you need for a comfortable stay, including a glass-door wood stove for cozy Maine nights and a kitchen that is fully stocked for entertaining. This property is a duplex and specifically designed so decks on both sides are private, plus extra sound barriers between the two sides for added privacy. Outside you'll delight in the spectacular scenery literally at your door with a view of Somes Sound and Greening Island. Take the pretty path down to your own private sandy beach and enjoy a beach front bonfire after dinner. Sheltered by islands, there is no surf, making it ideal for launching your kayak.
