Many guests return year after year to this contemporary retreat to enjoy the soothing water views, vibrant gardens, and the peaceful atmosphere of a quiet dead-end street. Nestled just minutes from the heart of downtown Damariscotta, this private and lovingly maintained home is filled with thoughtful touches—from a piano for evening music to a game room built for family fun.
Charming Features Panoramic River Views: True to its name, this home offers stunning vistas of the Damariscotta River from the deck, kitchen, den, family room, and bedrooms.
