Tucked away in the heart of Maine’s unspoiled coastline, South Bristol is a hidden gem—a place where maritime heritage, natural beauty, and quiet charm converge. Along its tranquil shores lies a rare opportunity: a classic 1930s waterfront cottage that captures the essence of coastal living.

This inviting three-bedroom cottage is nestled in a serene riverside setting, where the gentle sounds of lapping water and the scent of salt air create the perfect backdrop for a peaceful escape. Whether you're an avid birdwatcher, a boating enthusiast, or simply someone who cherishes time in nature, this home offers a true sanctuary.

From the moment you step inside, the cottage feels like home. The interior showcases original charm with wood floors, built-in bookshelves, and a beautiful stone fireplace anchoring the living room. A large picture window frames expansive water views, making it the perfect spot to unwind with a book or watch boats glide by.

The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated with top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances, including a Wolf cookstove and Bosch refrigerator and dishwasher—combining rustic charm with modern convenience. In addition to the three bedrooms and full bath, the home features a basement and an unfinished attic space, providing potential for additional living or storage areas.

A covered porch extends the living space outdoors, offering a peaceful setting for morning coffee, casual meals, or evening gatherings with friends and family. From this perch, you can take in stunning westerly sunsets and enjoy the ever-changing views of the river.

Just steps away is your private dock, perfect for launching a kayak, canoe, or small boat. The surrounding stone-bordered lawn is dotted with mature landscaping, including vibrant Astilbes and Peonies, and granite steps at either end provide a graceful transition from garden to water. At the back of the home, a stone patio offers yet another quiet nook, while a charming outbuilding adds convenient storage for gear or seasonal items.

For those seeking even more potential, the property allows for up to a 30% expansion with permit approval. Lot #28 also includes a winter railway for your float, making it practical and functional year-round.

This idyllic spot offers the best of both worlds: privacy and seclusion, yet within easy reach of local amenities. A short boat ride brings you to the open ocean, the vibrant Boothbay Peninsula, or upriver to the historic village of Damariscotta for dining, shopping, and exploration.
