Secluded House on South Bristol's Highest Point w/ Water Views
Nomad Validated
The space
South Bristol Gardens
Tall pines, perennial gardens, and the Damariscotta River make up the scenery around this picturesque Christmas Cove retreat. Located on Rutherford Island’s highest hill, Middlepoint is the ideal setting for a private multigenerational gathering.
Inside, find coastal cottage decor and distinctly New England accents -- hardwood floors, exposed beams, and even a secret back hall. The first-floor master suite includes a soaking tub, and the expansive back deck offers chaise lounges, a hammock, and a six-person table for alfresco dining.
Coveside Marina & Restaurant is 3 blocks away, and nearby Island Grocery is the place to go to stock up on vacation goodies. Take a 7-minute drive to visit the historic Pemaquid Point Lighthouse.
LIVING AREA
Traditional New England meets coastal cottage at Middlepoint, where hardwood floors, braided rugs, and period furniture add warmth.
A vibrant area rug accents the spacious, sunlit living room, where two white couches and several accent chairs invite conversation beside the fireplace.
An office provides a quiet work space complete with a large desk, monitor, and printer.
KITCHEN & DINING
Granite counters line the large kitchen, which is equipped with a gas range, two ovens, and a fridge. Pristine white cabinetry contrasts with the sleek stainless steel appliances.
The dining room holds a large table with comfortable seating for up to eight, as well as picture windows showcasing stunning ocean views and a decorative cast iron wood-burning stove.
BEDROOMS & BATHS
The serene master suite awaits with a queen bed, 55” flat-screen TV with Netflix access, and two patterned sitting chairs from which you can relish the view. A shared en-suite bathroom features a tub, shower, and a double vanity.
Upstairs, the second bedroom has a queen bed and a unique en-suite bath setup -- two closets converted into a water closet and a shower.
The third bedroom features a comfy queen bed, while the fourth bedroom, which is accessible through the third or a secret back hallway, has a king bed. The guest bath on this floor has a tub/shower combination.
A bright half bath features a corner pedestal sink.
OUTDOOR AREA
Step onto the deck to take in the surroundings – expansive ocean views, lush perennial gardens and tall pines. There's a propane grill, a dining table for six, and chaise lounges to soak up the sun and take in the John’s Bay vista.
EXTRA AMENITIES & MORE DETAILS
Complimentary Wi-Fi, a washer/dryer, and driveway parking for four vehicles are provided.
