About this home
Harbor View at 8 Ship Street is available to the market for the first time in almost 40 years! This beautifully preserved and updated 19th century home is ideally located in one of Maine's most beloved coastal villages, offering harbor views and an unbeatable location just steps from Rockport's Marine Park and Goodies Beach. From this home you can also enjoy an enviable and easy stroll to local cafes, shops, live music events, and the newly built library. At the heart of Harbor View is an inviting post and beam family room which flows seamlessly from the modern kitchen and features a cozy gas fireplace, a brand-new heat pump for year-round comfort, and direct access to the deck. Also on the first floor is a formal dining room, double living room, half bath, and mud and laundry room connected to the barn which is a perfect workshop, or potential garage conversion with storage above. Upstairs there is a sitting/office area with a large picture window that frames the unfolding harbor scenes, two bedrooms, a full bath, and a spacious primary suite with a renovated bathroom with beautiful tile, glass shower, and radiant heat. This suite is a true retreat, featuring soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, and stunning views of Rockport Harbor. A charming half-moon window offers the perfect vantage point for moonlit nights reflected over the water. Extensive 2025 upgrades include energy-efficient Ascend composite siding with insulation and Class A fire rating, three new heat pumps, a fully renovated kitchen with cork-backed insulated flooring, a redesigned primary bath with radiant floor heat and rain shower, a redesigned and transformed half-bath, improved drainage systems, foundation stonework, basement insulation and encapsulation, repaved driveway, and a new backyard deck. Some final finishing touches await your completion. Finally, a charming backyard off the deck has plenty of room to garden, relax, entertain and play, accompanied by the fresh salt air....
