Experience the beauty of Downeast Maine from this charming waterfront retreat overlooking Back Bay in Milbridge. Set on a beautifully landscaped lot with sweeping views across the bay to the islands and beyond, this thoughtfully updated home offers the perfect blend of coastal character, comfort, and privacy. The inviting interior features warm pine walls and ceilings, an open-concept kitchen and dining area, and expansive windows that frame the ever-changing waterfront scenery. The well-appointed kitchen includes a gas range, open shelving, and custom nautical-inspired cabinetry, while the living area is anchored by a cozy gas stove for year-round enjoyment. Sliding doors lead to a spacious waterside deck--an ideal place to enjoy morning coffee, outdoor dining, or spectacular sunsets over the bay. The home includes comfortable first-floor living with an updated full bath and laundry, plus a bedroom and a finished bonus room provides exceptional flexibility as a guest suite, studio, bunk room, or recreation space with water views. Outside, the property is equally impressive. A level lawn stretches toward the shoreline, offering plenty of space for entertaining, lawn games, evening campfires, or simply relaxing while watching the tides, seabirds, and local wildlife. A detached outbuilding provides storage for kayaks, gardening equipment, and outdoor gear, while a custom privacy enclosure adds both charm and function. Milbridge offers many everyday conveniences and community amenities, including parks, a grocery store, pharmacy, library, banks, medical center, public boat launch, restaurants, and the Milbridge Theatre and Community Arts Center. From this location, you'll also enjoy easy access to some of Downeast Maine's most scenic destinations, including Schoodic Point in Acadia National Park just 30 minutes away, and within an hour of Campobello Island, Quoddy Head Lighthouse, and Bar Harbor. Bangor International Airport is just over an hour away.
