Located just outside the center of Bayside Village, this lovely year-round home offers a peaceful setting tucked away from the summertime bustle, yet only minutes from the wharf, beach, playground, parks, and the shores of Penobscot Bay. Set on an unusually large 1.33-acre lot--a true rarity in this historic cottage community--the property combines privacy, comfort, and convenience, with Northport Golf Club just steps away and the vibrant coastal city of Belfast only three miles from your door. Originally built in 1983 with a substantial first-floor addition completed in 2001, the 3-BR, 2-bath home was thoughtfully designed for easy one-floor living, with guest bedrooms located upstairs. Multiple skylights fill the interior with natural light, while built-ins and generous storage add comfort and functionality throughout the home. The spacious kitchen offers abundant counter space and cabinetry, complemented by a cozy dining room, an inviting living room with a wood-burning stove, and a dedicated office. The stunning 1st-floor primary bedroom is a standout feature, showcasing striking architectural windows and an adjacent bath complete with a jetted tub and separate shower. Outdoor living spaces are equally captivating, with a screened porch that opens onto a deck --ideal for relaxing or dining while enjoying the naturalized landscape. Additional amenities include heat pumps for efficient heating and cooling, supplemented by a propane furnace, plus an enormous, heated basement with ample space for hobbies, storage, or future expansion. A garage beneath the home provides added convenience, while the heated 28' x 24' detached garage with a 12-foot ceiling offers exceptional space for vehicles, equipment, or a workshop--another uncommon feature in Bayside. Beautifully maintained throughout, this distinctive property offers the charm of seaside village living with the ease and practicality of a year-round home.
