15 Picnic Point DriveDeer Isle, ME 04627Price: $960,000

Tucked off desirable Merchant Point Road, this Mid-Century Modern retreat sits on 4.5 quiet acres in the woods, connected to the shore by sturdy stairs leading down to the flat ledges of Southeast Harbor. The shore has dock potential, and neighboring docks are already in place. The first floor offers two bedrooms, a full bath, and a step-down kitchen and living area full of personality, oriented to take in the water views. A screened porch off the kitchen and dining area, rebuilt in recent years, extends the living space outdoors. The living room centers on a fieldstone fireplace, recently restored by a local mason, making it a good spot for cool fall evenings while the light changes over the water. Upstairs, a third bedroom and a spacious great room add living space, along with a half bath and a private balcony. Outside, the property has 315 feet of water frontage, a rebuilt water-side deck, and stairs down to flat ledges suited to sunbathing or swimming. Views take in the Narrows and Sawyers Island. There's plenty of room to relax, entertain, or just enjoy the setting. A one-car garage with an attached studio or workshop adds extra flexibility. With a number of recent updates in place, this property combines comfort, privacy, and waterfront living in a sought-after location. It was once a popular short-term rental, but has been used and loved exclusively by the owners for the last ten years.
