Some homes announce themselves from the road. Others reveal their character only after you've arrived. Hidden in plain sight along Rockland Harbor, 70 North Shore Drive is one of those places where privacy, mature gardens, waterfront beauty, and thoughtful design come together across 1.8 +/- acres with 160 feet of owned shoreline. Built in 1985, this thoughtfully designed contemporary ranch embraces comfortable single-level living with three bedrooms, two full baths, and a partially finished lower level complete with an additional half bath and versatile bonus space. At the heart of the home, the vaulted living room is warmed by a propane fireplace and filled with natural light. The adjoining custom kitchen showcases exposed beam ceilings, handcrafted cabinetry, black granite countertops, and a gas cooking range--a timeless blend of craftsmanship and functionality. Rich maple hardwood floors flow throughout the primary living spaces, complemented by a stone tile foyer, parquet hallway, tiled baths, and comfortably carpeted bedrooms. Just off the primary suite, a private three-season room offers a peaceful retreat overlooking the backyard and harbor beyond. Outside, mature gardens frame the home while a private rear deck overlooks the gently sloping lawn. Thoughtful landscaping and the property's positioning create a remarkable sense of seclusion, with neighboring homes scarcely visible. The attached three-car garage provides abundant room for vehicles, a workshop, recreational equipment, and everything needed to enjoy Maine's four seasons. Located in the coveted coastal community of Owls Head, spend your mornings along the shoreline, your afternoons boating from nearby Rockland Harbor, and your evenings enjoying the restaurants, galleries, and vibrant waterfront just minutes away.
