Listing broker remarks

Perched on 1.8 private waterfront acres in Major’s Cove, with frontage on Sengekontacket Pond, this 4-bedroom, 4.5-bath wood-sided contemporary offers a functional floor plan with exceptional views in a beautiful coastal setting. Expanded over time, the home now includes a primary suite and laundry on the main living level, with comfortable living spaces opening to expansive wraparound decks. The home offers approximately 3,148 square feet of finished space, including approximately 800 square feet on the finished lower level, with substantial above-grade exposure at the rear. An upper-level ensuite bedroom and two additional bedrooms with two full baths on the lower level provide flexibility for family and guests. Improvements include newer windows and doors, mini-split systems, recent hot water equipment, and work to several bathrooms. The September 2026 Title V inspection passed and supports a five-bedroom septic capacity. With town water, only one existing structure on the 1.8-acre parcel, and substantial acreage, the property may offer long-term potential for expansion or future improvements, subject to applicable approvals. Life at Major’s Cove includes access to tennis and pickleball courts, a community boat launch, and kayak storage. HOA services include private-road maintenance, snow removal, and common-area landscaping. Whether enjoyed as a peaceful waterfront retreat or a home with room to evolve over time, this property offers exceptional privacy, versatility, and a distinctive island setting.— Compass
