Come visit Maine for the Summer.

Just steps from the shoreline, guests enjoy direct access to the coast—ideal for morning walks along the shore, launching a kayak, or simply absorbing the quintessential sounds of a Maine summer: lobster boats quietly tending their traps, seabirds gliding overhead, and bald eagles roosting nearby.

The home has been newly updated, featuring a light-filled open floor plan on the main level where wraparound windows, vaulted ceilings, and a fireplace frame sweeping ocean views throughout the kitchen, dining, and living areas. Spanning three thoughtfully designed levels, the lower floor offers a resort-like retreat with an enclosed swimming pool, sauna, full bath, private bedroom, and an elegant game and bar lounge complete with fireplace, pool table, and large-screen television. The main level hosts the serene primary suite with a spa-like bath, along with a powder room, laundry, and direct access to the garage and deck, while the upper level provides three additional guest bedrooms and a full bath—ideal for hosting family and friends in comfort and style. Ideally positioned, the home connects seamlessly to Bailey Island and is just minutes from Brunswick, home to the vibrant downtown and cultural influence of Bowdoin College, with easy access to Portland, Freeport, Bath, and Boothbay Harbor. Guests will enjoy proximity to a celebrated collection of local and renowned waterfront restaurants—many accessible by both car and boat—offering a range of refined and casual dining options with indoor and outdoor seating.
