Set on two private acres on the northeast side of Islesboro, this thoughtfully updated coastal retreat offers an idyllic setting overlooking East Penobscot Bay. Originally conceived as a classic Maine camp, the property has evolved into a comfortable four season home that combines its original character with the conveniences of modern island living. The single-story interior is designed for easy everyday living, centered around an inviting open living space and framed by a dramatic glass enclosed entry. Beyond, a covered porch provides an exceptional spot to take in the water views and enjoy the changing landscape throughout the seasons. The home includes four bedrooms, including a bright built-in bunk room, along with two full bathrooms. Practical updates include a new washer and dryer and 1GB high-speed internet. The waterfront setting is equally appealing. A gradual path leads toward the shore, creating an easy place to launch a kayak, swim, or simply spend time beside the bay. Above the approximately 120+/- foot long seawall, a stone terrace and fire pit provide a natural gathering place for long afternoons, evening fires, and waterfront dinners featuring lobster from the local fleet. The grounds have been designed with both recreation and privacy in mind, including a fenced area. Just across the driveway, a substantial boathouse and workshop offer ample room for equipment and storage, with ceiling mounted hoists making it convenient to store kayaks and smaller boats. Additional improvements include a recent property survey along with enhancements to the easement and driveway. Located on peaceful Pripet Woods Lane, the property enjoys a quiet, low-traffic setting with nearby access to Islesboro Island Trust trails. Private, waterfront, and surrounded by the natural beauty of coastal Maine, this is an inviting island escape with the flexibility to serve as a seasonal getaway or a year-round home. Septic not designed for 4 bedrooms.
