Catbird Seat — Perfectly positioned in the heart of Stonington Harbor, Maine's top lobster-landing port, this charming cottage includes 50 feet of owned frontage on the harbor, offering a unique chance to experience life on the working waterfront. Thoughtfully updated to make the most of its 792 square feet of living space (+ 400 sq. ft. of usable basement), the property balances efficient use of space with inviting coastal charm.
The main level features a bright living room with exposed wood beams, wainscoting, and painted wood floors, flowing into a well-designed kitchen and dining area. The kitchen's southern exposure and multiple windows keep the space airy, while minimal upper cabinetry and open shelving maximize the compact layout. A convenient half bath is also on this level. Sliding glass doors open to a waterside deck, a perfect spot to enjoy harbor views and watch the boats with islands on the horizon.
On the second floor, the primary bedroom offers views of Stonington Harbor and beyond, creating the sensation of being aboard a ship. A smaller, walk-through bedroom connects to a full bath, completing the upstairs layout.
The lower level provides a flexible workspace with a sink, shower, ample storage, and laundry, plus access to an additional lower-level deck. With public sewer and water connections, this seasonal cottage is especially convenient for use from May through October. Sold turnkey, it's thoughtfully decorated and furnished, ready for your island chapter to begin.
Located in the heart of Stonington village, this cottage is steps from the Opera House for year-round entertainment and within easy reach of Stonington's vibrant dining options.
