Sitting atop Taylor Road, in historic Westport Island, this wonderful enclave captures your imagination the moment you enter the property. To the left is a a charming cottage, straight ahead is a large two car garage with a work room and perched at the top of this 4.5-acre property is a home that holds many surprises. When you walk up to the front steps and enter through the main door you are immediately taken aback by the gorgeous view of the Sheepscot River, visible from the home's large wrap around deck. If you chose to enter the home from the lower level, you can feel the warmth of this solidly built Maine home immediately. Upon entering the front entrance, you are greeted to an open floor plan, wood floors, a large wood burning fireplace, many windows showcasing the gorgeous view - all seamlessly connected to the updated kitchen and breakfast nook. Thoughtfully landscaped grounds invite you into the yard where you will find a bocce court, a firepit and a multitude of magnificent shrubs and flowers, blooming throughout the spring, summer, and fall. In the back of the property raised beds to grow your own vegetables await you along with a greenhouse and a ''luxurious'' chicken coop where you can fetch your fresh eggs daily! We can't forget the stairway down to the waterfront where you will find a dock and float so you can take a swim off the dock or go boating. A 10-minute drive will take you into the ''Prettiest Village in Maine'', Wiscasset, where you will find the famous Red's Eats for a fabulous lobster roll, art galleries, unique shops, and several wonderful restaurants. A short drive to the north brings you to many typical Maine fishing villages and to the south, Portland is only an hour away.
