Set in a serene coastal neighborhood, this custom-built home is being offered for sale for the very first time. Built by a respected local builder for his own family, it reflects thoughtful design and quality construction. 2,778 square feet, 5 bedrooms and 2 baths on nearly an acre where the woods meet the water. Set 70 feet above the shore, with ocean views on two sides and deeded access to the water.
It's a quiet, private setting where neighbors stroll and wander to the beach. The town dock and beach are a short walk; Belfast is 7 minutes, Searsport's harbor and shops moments off.
Large windows fill the home with light over hardwood and granite. The main level holds an eat-in kitchen, separate dining room, a living room with a due-east bay window for sunrise over the water, a full bath in radiant-heated granite tile, and two bedrooms for single-level living.
Upstairs, three more bedrooms, one with a large walk-in closet, and a skylit bath with a deep jetted tub in granite; the bay-facing rooms wake to first light off the water.
Baseboard radiators throughout carry the house; four heat pumps add summer and shoulder-season comfort, and a whole-house generator covers any storm. Wood is for backup and ambiance: an insert in the living room, a stove in the rec room (with a 9-foot pool table), and a basement stove that can heat the whole house through the radiant system. Fiber internet, new double-pane windows, public water and sewer.
The attached three-car garage has a 700-square-foot heated workshop above on steel I-beams, plus office and storage: room for hobbies, a home business, or future living space.
Out back, a deck overlooks the lawn and woodland, with round-rock stone walls, apple trees, mature landscaping, raised beds, a shed, and two driveways. A deeded path winds down to the high-water mark, where a new stairway is taking shape and the Fourth of July fireworks open over the water.
Lovingly maintained by the family who built it. Open House Saturday 6/
