Beloved Maine artist and Saint George resident Jamie Wyeth once said ''There's a quality of life in Maine which is this singular and unique...It's absolutely a world onto itself.'' This very same sentiment seems to come to mind for anyone who steps foot onto 351 Island Avenue. Affectionately referred to as Pumpkin Point, the property encompasses elements that make Maine iconically unique - wide open ocean as far as the eye can see, granite outcroppings interlaced with lupines, green grass, pine trees, tidepools all surrounding a simply beautiful, well-built classic shingle-style house. Located on Rackliff Island, accessed year-round by a causeway from the mainland, this location offers privacy, peace and quiet with a good measure of real community for those seeking such things. Pumpkin Point has been lovingly cared for and maintained and it's evident from first glance - this is more than a house, it is a place for generations to come home to. The house sits on 1.61 acres with 240 feet of waterfront with deep water and zero-entry components thanks to a newly built dock and a small sandy beach. It has 4-5 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms with a layout offering both open, welcoming spaces and cozy nooks; virtually all rooms have water views and access to the house's decks and balconies. There is a place for everyone to be here - the living room with its impressive granite wood burning fireplace, the welcoming dining area open to a substantial chef's kitchen, the family room upstairs with room for puzzles, games and books or the bonus room for movie-watching as the sun sets on another glorious day in Midcoast Maine. With a first-floor primary suite, Pumpkin Point offers one-floor living and other important amenities; attached garage with storage, a whole house generator, a new, efficient Viessmann heating system and robust water treatment system. Rackliff Island is centrally located with easy access to quaint local villages as well as the amenities of large towns and cities.
