What's special
Set on 1.5± acres in a peaceful Westport Island setting, this expanded Cape blends classic Maine character with rare flexibility for modern living. Stone walkways, mature gardens, and a broad deck create an inviting arrival, while the interior offers warm wood floors, natural light, and comfortable gathering spaces. The kitchen opens easily to everyday living and entertaining, and the home is best marketed as 3 bedrooms plus bonus/flex space, with 2.5 baths and an attached 2-car garage. A standout feature is the finished family room over the garage with vaulted ceilings, built-ins, an arched window, a private exterior entrance, and a half bath--ideal as a studio, office, guest retreat, recreation room, or possible future ADU/guest-suite conversion. Surrounded by woods and close to the Sheepscot River coastline with seasonal views, this property offers privacy without isolation and convenient access to Wiscasset, Bath, Boothbay, and Midcoast amenities. A distinctive Westport Island home with room to gather, create, garden, and unwind.
