Perched above Lowell’s Cove, this thoughtfully renovated 5-bedroom, 2-bath waterfront home is set within a quiet working harbor community, with open ocean views and access to the shoreline below. Interiors have been redesigned with updated systems, warm woods, coastal finishes and a curated mix of collected and vintage pieces. Explore shorelines and nearby trails by day, returning for candlelit dinners in a comfortable, elevated home. Renovations complete by March; more photos coming soon.
The Ledge House on Lowell’s Cove is a thoughtfully restored waterfront home designed for meaningful gatherings - whether that’s an extended family, two+ families traveling together, or a group seeking time and space to truly connect.
Set directly above the water in Harpswell, the house offers expansive views across the cove, a close connection to the shoreline below, and a sense of calm that comes from being surrounded by water, trees, and a year-round coastal community. Inside, classic Maine character - warm woods, coastal tones, and natural textures - is paired with modern comforts that make longer stays effortless.
The Ledge House is completing its renovations by March. If you’d like to see additional photos of the current state, feel free to message us directly.
This is a home that feels welcoming rather than precious.
Adults settle in easily with first-floor living and a first-floor primary bedroom with an attached shared bathroom. Meals and conversations naturally gather around the large dining table, while the kitchen becomes a place to cook, linger, and share a glass of wine. Children have room to explore—rolling down the hill, searching for seashells, or splashing along the shallow edge of the cove.
Days unfold with morning walks, reading, games, time by the water, or seeking out Harpswell's best lobster roll. Evenings bring everyone back together for shared meals and conversation, with a thoughtfully designed outdoor seating area and firepit creating a natural place to linger as the light fades.
The Ledge House is well suited for summer weeks, crisp fall escapes, cozy winter gatherings, and spring reunions. Every detail has been considered to support meaningful family and multi-family time - without clutter, fuss, or formality.
