Osprey and Gull Cottages, the inspirational oceanfront retreat for famed Southern author Anne Rivers Siddons, has all the charm and character you expect from a classic Brooklin, Maine summer home. The main house has five cozy bedrooms and three full bathrooms, a lovely dining room for memorable dinner parties, and an intimate living room with a large fireplace. ''Throughout the waterfront side of Osprey Cottage, when gazing out the windows, one has the sense of being on the ocean.'' The primary suite overlooks the lawn straight to the ocean's edge. Enjoy lobster bakes and watching boats go by on 551 feet of shorefront on the Eggemoggin Reach, home to some of the best sailing on the East Coast. The guest cottage has three bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a kitchenette. Guests can sit out on the screened in balcony or stay warm by the woodstove. The cottages sit on two private acres and have shared ownership in the 8 acres across the lane with beautiful walking trails to the waterfront on Wells Cove. Discover the charm of this classic cottage and the opportunity to build lasting memories of summertime in Maine.
