Waterfront Bliss Awaits at This Renovated Cottage on Middle Bay
Step into the living room of this beautifully renovated 3-bedroom, 2-bath cottage and feel as though you're standing on the bridge of a ship—surrounded by water on all sides. With stunning 180-degree views of Middle Bay in the Casco Bay area, this home offers a rare sense of immersion in nature. Just steps away, a private stairway leads to your own 100 feet of peaceful sand, rock, and calm-water beachfront—perfect for swimming, kayaking, fishing, or simply relaxing by the shore.
The spacious deck is ideal for grilling and dining al fresco, while the separate yard invites you to enjoy lawn games like badminton or catch. You’ll experience the perfect balance of peace and connection, with serenity on the water and proximity to nearby attractions. Watch the sunset with a glass of wine in hand as the sky puts on a show just for you.
Inside, the cottage features a fully equipped kitchen, a cozy dining area for six, and a comfortable living room with panoramic ocean views. Kick back with the wall-mounted TV, cable, and internet—or just soak in the views.
Upstairs, you’ll find a bedroom with both a queen and twin bed, a full bath with a shower, a hallway closet, and the primary bedroom offering a king bed and breathtaking ocean vistas. Downstairs (daylight basement) includes a private queen bedroom, additional storage, and access to the washer and dryer. For year-round comfort, the home is equipped with heat pumps offering both heating and air conditioning.
In addition to the peaceful seaside neighborhood setting, you’re just 15 minutes from Brunswick’s shops, restaurants, and amenities. Whether you're exploring tidal pools with the kids, enjoying a romantic evening on the deck, or basking in the quiet luxury of seaside living, this cottage delivers the ultimate coastal Maine getaway.
Your perfect oceanfront escape is waiting—come make it your new favorite vacation tradition.
