Property Description

Sweet bungalow-style, year-round home on Southport Island. Cross over one of the few remaining swing bridges in Maine to enter into the charming community of Southport Island. Just a few minutes later, you'll arrive at 461 Hendricks Hill Road, a 1914 bungalow-style home perched on the hill above Cozy Harbor. This home, originally built as the parsonage to the local Methodist Church, is conveniently located just minutes from the Hendricks Head beach and lighthouse and steps from the Southport General Store and Barn; also nearby is the Southport Yacht Club, and not far is the larger town of Boothbay Harbor with other Midcoast waterfront towns within an easy drive. With three bedrooms and one bath, this home is graced with period woodwork throughout, featuring white oak window and door framing and Douglas fir flooring. Several stained-glass windows and a fireplace add warmth to the living room and the study off the dining room has its own external entrance onto the South-facing, wide-sweeping front porch?a wonderful place to sit and enjoy the sea breezes. While the house may appear small from the outside, with a total of 1,855 square feet of living space, it features a sunny eat-in kitchen with its own mudroom entrance from the driveway, and a primary bedroom that is a two-room suite with a closet and a large walk-in storage area. The mudroom, added in 2006, has a tiled floor, plenty of shelving for storage, and a full laundry with oversized washer and dryer...ready for all the gear the family brings in from the beach. The separate two-story garage, constructed in 1997, provides space for vehicle and boat storage below and a second floor that could be perfect as a studio/office/playroom or storage area. The property benefits from both seasonal public water in the summer, in addition to the year-round on-site water supply from the dug well. By winter of 2026 there will be year-round public water service available.
