Designed by renowned architect Royal Barry Wills, this elegant, oceanfront Cape offers panoramic views of Penobscot Bay from nearly every room. Private, yet convenient to downtown Belfast, it's superbly sited on more than an acre of lush, landscaped lawn that borders on 333 ft. of beach with a granite seawall and steps to the shore. One-floor living but with a full, expandable attic, this extremely well-built home offers 3 bedrooms (including a master suite), 3 bathrooms, an eat-in kitchen with an impressive field stone hearth and wood stove that also warms an adjoining family room, a formal dining room, a living room with a wood-burning fireplace and glass doors that lead to a spacious ocean-view porch, a sun room that opens onto a lovely, waterside deck, a laundry room, a 5-room basement that includes a workshop and billiards room and an attached two-car garage. Easy to maintain and a joy to live in, this is a beautiful coastal home.
