First locate yourself in the “Real” Downeast Maine where it is as life use to be. In Perry, which is near Eastport, you will enjoy the grand bay vistas prior to arriving at entrance of this incredible oceanfront cottage sitting approximately 48’ from the bay on 4+/- acres of beautiful wooded and open grounds and 200’+/- of deep water frontage with stairwell to large platform rock that stays exposed during high tide and then a small set of stairs from the rock to the pebbly beach for private walks, sea glass / driftwood hunting, and lobster bakes at low tide.
Completed 2007, this year round cottage has 2640 sf+/-finished living space plus large 3 season sun room and attached oversized 2C garage.

While in the living room with 20’ cathedral ceilings of white bead board and paddle fans, the bay views flood inside from the large 2 story windows across the front and return both sides of the living room with large windows.

The full moon hangs huge in the night sky shining across the bay and in through the large master bedroom windows.
An open stairwell leads you to the second floor landing and open hall which doesn’t let you miss any water views. At the top is an oversized full bath with, large linen closet, Italian porcelain floor tile and lovely views up the open grounds of the back yard through the ceiling to almost floor length window.
