230 Bay View Street

In an exceptional location on Bay View Street, one of Camden’s most sought-after neighborhoods, Whitecaps is a spectacular waterfront estate with sweeping views across Penobscot Bay and its islands. Set on 3.43± acres with 225± feet of rocky shorefront, the property combines a contemporary Shingle-style main residence with the amenities of a fine Maine coastal retreat, including a guest house, swimming pool, tennis court, and deep-water dock on Camden Harbor. At the end of a gated, winding drive, the estate has a private and beautifully established setting with mature trees, flowering gardens, perennial beds, professional stonework, and steps leading to the shorefront.

The five-bedroom main house is comfortable and elegant, with an open, expansive layout and water views from nearly every room. Distinctive architectural details include rounded ceilings, curved alcoves, interior balconies, abundant glass, and a dramatic three-story central living room. A wraparound, multi-level deck connects the main house to the two-bedroom guest house and creates a variety of inviting spaces for outdoor living and entertaining around the pool. Carefully maintained and in excellent condition, Whitecaps offers an appealing combination of setting and amenities in one of the Midcoast’s premier neighborhoods.
