2301 State Route 129, South Bristol, ME, 04568

Christmas Cove has been an historic summer colony since before the turn of the last century. People traveled to coastal Maine via steamship to escape the summer heat in places like Boston and New York and not very much has changed except the means of travel. Properties rarely become available here so this home, a contemporary take on
the turn of the century shingle style is a rare chance indeed to become a member of this historic community. The house feature an open floor plan ideal for entertaining. Large banks of windows look out onto the cove and the cathedral ceiling painted crisp white creates a very dramatic light filled space. Down a short hallway is a very private first floor suite with spa like bath providing the capability of one story living. Other features include gleaming maple wood floors, a first floor laundry and a marvelous 2.5 story stone chimney above the fireplace. Located just down the street is the Christmas Cove
Improvement Association or CCIA whereupon joining the CCIA one has use of tennis courts, soon to be completed pickle ball courts, a sailing school and outdoor events such as potlucks and barbecues. The 227 feet of water frontage allows access by skiff or kayak to open ocean. Last but not least is the feature that South Bristol has one of the lowest property tax rates in the entire state.
