Description
“Piper’s Bend” is a 3,500 sq ft Midcentury Modern home a mile from downtown Damariscotta. The spacious house is set on two acres and can accommodate a crowd. Sunlight fills every room thanks to walls of glass that allow guests to enjoy nature and water views. Your own private tidal dock is down a grassy path for swimming & boating (paddleboards & kayaks included). Large level yard for our bocci or badminton. Quiet, dead-end road, but only 4 minutes from Damariscotta shops and restaurants.Most of the house is on the 1st floor: kitchen with pantry open to spacious dining area, screen porch with water views for dining or lounging , huge living room with wood fireplace, piano and a stage for performances, 2 full baths, 2 bedrooms, a second sitting room and laundry room. The 2nd floor holds 2 large bedrooms, both with 18-ft ceilings, one with walls of windows looking out to the water and a new en-suite bath.The walk-in closet off the master bath has often accommodated children. There is a fold-out sofa in the River Room (secondary living room). We also have a few twin foam mattresses (comfortable for children on the floor), a toddler bed and a crib.This year, we have added lots of outdoor seating, a larger dining room table to seat a crowd, and an outdoor pizza oven.Kitchen is well-stocked. Treadmill in the basement.There are two incredible swings outside — one tied 35 feet in the air from an oak tree that allows you (well, your kids!) to swing out over a patch of lupines. It’s right next to a cozy fire pit overlooking a field that rolls down to the water.Enjoy exploring the moss garden underneath mature oaks alongside azaleas and rhododendrons.Pick organic currants or blueberries. Or head down to the water to gather your own Damariscotta River oysters at low tide.Included in the rental are two stand-up paddleboards, two adult kayaks and one child kayak.You are also welcome to enjoy The Point, a 2-acre peninsula at the end of the road with stairs to access the water, a picnic table, a kayak rack and benches to take in water and island views.Piper’s Bend was built by Maine author Bill Caldwell and has always been known for its gatherings. Bring your family and friends, and become a part of the tradition!
