Come be a part of the Maine coast off the beaten path on iconic Spruce Head Island. Cross the causeway, just minutes from Rockland, onto the rockbound shores of this coastal treasure and working waterfront lobstering community speckled with rocky ledges, spruce trees and washed by the Gulf of Maine. Your LED-lit, covered front porch offers cocktail hour relaxation with evening sunsets over distant islands and nearby lobster boats lazing on their moorings in Seal Cove Harbor. Just a short stroll down to famed McCloon's for some lobster-in-the-rough (and some of the best whoopie pies around). This cedar-shingled cottage is a thoughtful, efficient design with two bedrooms and full bath, stackable washer/dryer, a fully equipped kitchen opening onto a living space and porch with views to the water. Built in 2013, on an old footprint, custom-designed to exacting standards for efficiency, by master builder, Jon Levenseller, to harmonize with its low maintenance site. Two ground-level basements feature state-of-the-art mechanicals and owner lockout storage. Inside, the spacious living area features ample natural light from sliders with remote cellular shades, oak floors, soft LED perimeter up-lighting, pine shiplap ceilings, bead-board trim and an open kitchen, designed by Dream Kitchen, boasting a large island, blue pearl granite countertops, solid maple cabinetry, stainless steel appliances and a wine cooler. There's a peaceful back deck off the kitchen to welcome morning coffee sunrises. Heavenly, in short. Come explore this secluded, picturesque Maine island and snug year-round (or turnkey seasonal) home or rental property.
