About this home
INVESTMENT OR RESIDENTIAL OPPORTUNITY! Nestled in the heart of Bucksport, this inviting Cape-style home enjoys a scenic Penobscot River setting. Take in ever-changing views from the deck at 3 Steamboat Wharf Lane and bring in some calm to everyday life. Offering 2 bedrooms, 1 full bath and 960 square feet of efficient living space, the two-story layout makes this home a comfortable option for a year-round residence, downsizing opportunity, Maine vacation home or coastal Maine investment property. The current owner has thoughtfully refreshed the home with updates to paint, flooring, lighting and finishes, giving the space a bright, move-in-ready feel while maintaining its character. The full basement offers additional storage, too. The property is tucked right behind another building on Main Street, providing space from the regular flow of traffic. Nearly everything you need is close by--local shops, restaurants, groceries and services are all within easy reach. Just a short distance away, the scenic Bucksport Waterfront Walkway features a beautifully landscaped path that offers views across the water to Fort Knox Historic Site and the iconic Penobscot Narrows Bridge and Observatory. This property has successfully been used as both a furnished weekly rental and a long-term rental, noted in listing information. That allows flexibility for buyers seeking a Bucksport investment property or income-producing coastal home. Bucksport's location also makes it a convenient home base for exploring Downeast and Midcoast Maine. Enjoy a 1-hour drive to Acadia National Park, or head the other direction to additional quaint harbor towns like Camden and Rockland. Whether you're looking for a low-maintenance home with river views, a Maine getaway, or a property with rental potential, this downtown Bucksport Cape offers a rare combination of scenery, convenience and flexibility in a classic Maine setting. *Home currently has a tenant through May. Departure date is negotiable.
