Luxurious Waterfront Retreat: Historic Charm & Breathtaking Scenery at Tidewatch
Tidewatch: A Historic Stone-Ender on the Water
We invite you to experience the very best that Maine has to offer at Tidewatch, a rare and meticulously maintained historic Rhode Island Stone-Ender style home. Set across three stories and surrounded by expansive lawns, lush gardens, and the tidal waters of the bay, this property is a true architectural gem. Whether you are launching a kayak from the private dock, exploring the rocky beach at low tide, or enjoying a starlit evening by the firepit, Tidewatch offers an unparalleled coastal experience.
Charming Features
Architectural Grandeur: The heart of the home is the open living and dining area, featuring a spectacular granite stone wall, vaulted ceilings, and a curated collection of English and American antiques.
Gourmet Kitchen & Coffee Bar: For the culinary enthusiast, the kitchen boasts a gas cooktop and a Sub-Zero refrigerator, complemented by a dedicated coffee bar for slow Maine mornings.
Family Fun & Relaxation: The family room is designed for connection, offering a 65" TV, a piano, a rotating Scrabble table, and panoramic views of the spacious lawn leading down to the water.
Masterful Living: The second-floor master suite features a king bed and en-suite bath, while the third floor—accessed by a beautiful wooden spiral staircase—offers a private queen bedroom and a cozy sitting room.
Outdoor Oasis: Dine al fresco on the stone patio with wrought iron furniture, or head down to the waterfront to watch shorebirds and local boating activity from your front-row seat on the coast.
Work from Home: A dedicated office nook with a desk provides a quiet space for those who need to stay connected while surrounded by inspiring water views.
NOTE: Due to its historic nature and layout, this home is not suitable for small children. It is a perfect retreat for families with older children or couples traveling together.
