Vacation Rental Description

The post-modern shingle style 4100 square foot house was beautifully 
and thoroughly expanded in 2000.  The house was completely 
rethought by Joseph Waltman, who I consider the Robert A. Stern of 
the Maine coast.  The many architectural details include:  intricate 
wainscotting, raised panels, crown moldings, French doors, transoms, 
oak wood floors throughout, and custom cherry cabinetry.   

The house is within 50 feet of the shoreline on all three sides, and 
has been sited so that every room has direct water views!  The 
interior has been carefully furnished with personally chosen 
antiques, including oriental rugs, and original Maine art.  The 
custom kitchen has cherry cabinets and ceramic tile floors. It is 
fully equipped with a Viking professional six-burner cooktop, 
Thermador double ovens with microwave, two Kitchenaide dishwashers, 
Cuisinart, mixer, and an  ice maker in the refrigerator.  The house 
has a reading library, and is furnished with two telephone lines, 
fax 
machine, laser printer and photocopier; Maytag-Neptune washer and 
dryer; deck furniture, gas B-B-Q, satellite TV, and a computer. 

A formal entrance way provides access to a 28' by 16' Living Room  
facing the water, with direct access to the wraparound deck through 
three sets of French doors, and a staircase to the back gardens and 
deepwater channel. The Living Room also has a wood burning 
fireplace.  Off the Family Room through the French doors, is a 16' 
by 
14' formal Dining Room with seven windows, also directly facing the 
water.  Along the front of the first floor is the 28' by 14' Family 
Room, and to the West, the 18' by 16' custom kitchen described above 
with its adjoining laundry room and full bath, again all facing the 
water.  A foyer/mud room provides access to a two-car garage.  Off 
the Living Room  to the East and South is a 20' by 16' Master 
Bedroom with full bath.  The Living Room and the Master Bedroom both 
have access to an 83' by 11' deck which runs along the south and 
west sides of the house.  Directly behind the Living Room is a large 
screened porch for waterfront dining and boat watching.   

Upstairs there are three-four large bedrooms and two guest baths.  
One of the bedrooms has an adjoining sitting room, which can be used 
as a fifth bedroom. 

The property also has a dock for tieing up your boat or swimming.

Activities and Attractions

The house is located on Sebascodegan Island in Casco Bay on the 
coast of Maine.  The property is situated on a totally private, 
secluded peninsula within the Cundys Point Association on 5+ acres, 
with 2000 feet of shoreline.  The house is within 50 feet of the 
water on all three sides.  To the West are open views of Quahog and 
Casco bays, Big Hen, Birch Island, and Yarmouth Island.   To the 
East is Ridley Cove and the picturesque fishing village of Cundys 
Harbor.  The sunrises and sunsets from this location are 
magnificent. 

There are several paths from the house through the extensive natural 
landscaping.  You can get to various perennial beds and cutting, 
vegetable, and herb gardens which add charm and color all year 
long.  The gardens extend to the sea banks;  they are professionally 
kept and contain peonies, old fashioned beach roses, lilacs, asiatic 
lilies, dahlias, blueberries, wildflowers, lupines, rhododendrons, 
bayberry, hydrangias and foxglove.  Along the banks you can walk to 
a spot on the beach which is very private and invites swimming, and 
fishing at low and high tides.  Long walks and beachcombing are also 
very pleasant.  A canoe is provided for exploring the coves and 
bays. 

From the house you can easily walk from the point (10 minutes) along 
the ocean to the Snack Bar for fried clams and other local seafood 
(according to USA Today, they have "The Best Lobster Roll on the 
Coast of Maine").  Also within walking distance are town, Hawks 
Lobster Pound for fresh lobster, clams, local smoked salmon, and 
fish, flowers and The Block and Tackle Restaurant for great Maine 
blueberry pancakes. 

Further afield, Bowdoin College and Brunswick are eight miles away 
(providing Maine State Summer Theater and concerts).  The outlet 
stores at Freeport and L.L. Bean are about 20 miles away.  Both 
Portland and Boothbay Harbor (where a short ferry ride to Monhegan 
Island provides access to the famous artists colony and hiking 
trails with spectacular views) are within a 45 minute drive.
