27 Harbor Drive, Deer Isle, ME 04627

Contemporary shingle-style cape on a tidal cove, in a well-located mid-island setting. This 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom home spans 1.88 acres with 219' of frontage on Inner Harbor, a tidal cove known for its bird life, clam flats, and one of the warmer saltwater swimming spots on the island at high tide. Built in 2007, this custom cape was stick-built with attention to detail and quality amenities throughout. An entry mudroom serves as a buffer for Maine winters and summers, with a second interior door leading into the main living area to help keep the heat where it belongs. From there you enter a well-laid-out kitchen with adjacent dining and living space. To the west is the standout room in the house: a screened porch with water views and salt air. A deck spans the water side of the home with direct access to the porch. The first floor also includes a bedroom and a centrally located full bathroom. Upstairs, a landing functions as a second-floor sitting area. On either side, a large bedroom with a gable roof gives each room a sense of height and openness. Multiple closets and built-in dressers and shelving in each room keep storage functional without crowding the space. The lower level has been fully remodeled with a lower level living area, a wall of water-side windows and doors, and a lower-level bedroom with water and woods views, plus a separate laundry room. The space is bright, clean, and well suited to movies, games, and everyday living. The shoreline has a gentle slope down to the water, with a 10x10 shoreside platform for sitting, campfires, or sunbathing after a swim in the cove. This year-round home is offered mostly furnished, has a strong earning history as a short-term rental, and works equally well as a full-time or part-time residence. Furnishing negotiable.
