At the heart of one of Harpswell's most beloved island communities, this turn-of-the-century cottage offers a rare opportunity to create your own coastal escape on charming Orr's Island. Whether you're searching for your next investment project, dreaming of a seasonal getaway, or envisioning a year-round island home, the potential here is undeniable. Located steps from the beloved Orr's Island Candy Company and within walking distance of the iconic Cribstone Bridge, this property places you in one of Maine's most picturesque coastal settings, with partial water views on both sides of the home.
The home is ready for renovations and fresh vision, with important improvements already completed including a new roof and septic system in 2022. The front porch is waiting to be restored into the charming welcome it was meant to be--perfect for rocking chairs, a porch swing, and long summer evenings filled with salty coastal air.
Inside, an inviting entry leads to a dedicated laundry room and a spacious kitchen waiting to be transformed into the breezy island kitchen of your dreams. Sliding doors open to the back deck, while a comfortable living room and full bathroom complete the first floor. Upstairs offers three bedrooms with flexibility for family and guests.
The oversized garage provides excellent storage, workshop, or recreational potential with power already connected. Offered as-is, this is your chance to restore and reimagine a classic Maine island cottage in an exceptional location.
