Are you ready to spend the summer in a quintessential Maine cottage overlooking the water? Welcome to Blue Shaboo Cottage (aka Blue Lobster Cottage) on sought after Rutherford Island in South Bristol. With water views on 3 sides, this charming property will catch your heart and become your happy place. For many decades, this has been a well loved 3 season cottage overlooking the South Bristol Gut, with a quick walk to freshly caught lobsters. This historic circa turn of the century building, originally a general store, retains many vintage period details. This adorable home is being offered mostly furnished, making for an easy transition to get in and enjoy the season. Enjoy cocktail hour on the front porch with your guests, with amazing westerly sunset views. Sip your morning coffee on the lower back deck or upper back deck and watch the boats going out for the day. As you enter the original front door, an open living, dining and kitchen area with water views is a perfect place for hosting and relaxing. A light and cozy den in the back of the house opens out to the deck with more water views. The first floor also has a full bathroom with shower. Upstairs, the spacious landing opens to 3 lovely bedrooms, a full bathroom with clawfoot tub, and a door out to the upper deck which is a peaceful perch to savor the easterly sunrise views. This sweet cottage epitomizes the Maine life you've been dreaming about!
