WATERBORO – Many homes have wraparound porches. But very few properties have wraparound waterfront. Here is one, on the southeastern shore of Lake Arrowhead, whose triple lot includes a sizable peninsula and 855-feet-plus of frontage, extending from cove to cove. With a dock, of course.

The year-round lakefront home is being sold furnished, and is offered at the eminently affordable price of $259,000.

Built in 1994, the immaculate home expands on the classic Cape floor plan: One one side is a beautifully finished sitting room with skylights in its cathedral ceiling; on the other, a three-season sunroom that looks out over the water. In between are a spacious, pretty kitchen, with stainless appliances and maple cabinetry, that is open to the living room, with a wood stove on a brick hearth, over a stone-topped half-wall. Down the hall are a full bath and a good-sized bedroom.

Up wide, oak stairs, the second floor is traditional-Cape-style: two big back-to-front bedrooms flanking a central bath with soaking tub.

The lower level provides finished space in the form of a cool, paneled, L-shaped recreation room with bar seating. Also daylight, the utility/workshop/laundry room has walkout to the back yard and outdoor shower.

By the water’s edge, there’s a storage shed for kayaks, etc., and a garage could also be added. As a rental, the waterfront Cape would bring $1,800 weekly in high season. The lot directly across the street, which is septic-ready and has 330 feet of water frontage, is also available, at $69,000. The combination of properties represents an idea opportunity for someone to establish a family compound.
