EAST BOOTHBAY – Here on a quiet cove on Linekin Bay is a coastal property with 270 feet on the water, a deepwater dock with float, and stunning southerly views of Ocean Point and the bay, past little Fish Hawk and Cabbage islands to the open ocean.

The 3,500-square-foot home, an executive-style ranch built in 1980, sits high on an acre-plus lot that is very naturally landscaped and hardscaped. The design makes the most of the coastal setting and its splendid views. One looks out on the water from almost every room, where there are full-view doors opening out to the wraparound lookout deck; or in the case of one back room, to a private balcony.

At each end of the house is a water-facing bedroom with deck access; a full bath off the hall just behind; and a corner, “back” room. On the west side, the master bath has a jetted tub in a paneled surround; the inner side of this hallway is all closets. The back room has a pair of closets with built-ins, walkout to the side yard, and a door to the two-vehicle attached garage. With a pocket door setting it off from the center hallway, this west wing makes a perfect, and private, master suite, and has a laundry enclosure, too.

In the center of the home, the back-to-front living room has a cathedral ceiling and beautiful paneling and wainscoting, with built-ins framing the wood-burning brick fireplace and hearth. Flooring is oak, here and in the adjacent dining room. The tiled kitchen has been updated with cherry cabinetry and granite surfaces, including an island with sink, and has a wood stove hookup and General Electric double wall oven.

Spiral stairs descend to the lower level, which is nicely and less formally finished on its east side. The daylight, carpeted family/recreation room has a massive eight-foot stone fireplace on an elevated, 12-foot brick hearth. Walls are barn-board paneled, painted white. An accessory full bath suggests guest-quarters potential. The rest of the lower level provides tons of storage, and walkout to a covered stone patio.

Annual taxes are $4,214.
