The house, called Sea Smoke, was built in 1974 when “setback requirements weren’t as strict as they are now,” says owner John Bettis. “You get the most beautiful view.” Except for the water- front, the .53-acre property is surrounded by abundant pine trees and a grassy lawn. It’s listed at $199,300. Tucked into a quiet neighborhood– “most of the activity comes from seagulls, terns, and bald eagles”–on the marshy coastline of Narraguagus Bay, the two-bed, one-and-a-half-bath dwelling has a pros- perous track record as a vacation rental, but it was originally intended for a family home. “It’s a cottage-style place,” Bettis says of the single-story building, “and we want- ed to keep it old-fashioned.” But not anti- quated. Inside, Sea Smoke feels spacious, thanks to an open-concept floor plan which includes the living room, kitchen, and din- ing area, complete with a high-vaulted ceil- ing and “three large sliding glass doors overlooking the bay.” In winter, cozy up next to the hearth of the woodstove. Cool off in summer with a cocktail on the water- side patio, your front-row seat to the cine- matic tidal bay. Taxes are $2,248. –Madison Andrews Rough Diamond 206 McCorison Lane, Isleboro $180,000 | acres Convinced a seafront home on Isleboro is out of your reach? Think again.
