278 Shore Drive

Acton

$695,000

4 beds   ·   3 baths   ·   2,963 sqft   ·   0.33 acres   ·   taxes: $3,410   ·   MLS#: 1681614

LIVE IN ONE SIDE WHILE YOU RENOVATE THE OTHER—and turn waterfront ownership into an opportunity to build equity, create income, and invest in your future. 278 E Shore Drive offers a setup rarely found at this price point. The newer attached portion of the home has its own entrance, 3 bedrooms, a kitchen, a living area, and 2 full baths, and requires fewer renovations than the original home. Move into this space first while tackling the larger renovation in phases rather than taking on the entire project at once. For an owner-occupant, it's an opportunity to get into waterfront ownership, improve the property over time, and build long-term value. For an investor, the flexible layout offers potential for rental income, multigenerational living, or seasonal/vacation rental use. The original portion of the home offers the bigger transformation opportunity, with generous living space, a striking stone fireplace, and a grandfathered location close to the water. Outside, approximately 127 feet of Loon Pond shoreline creates the setting discerning buyers come to Maine for. Located in Southern Maine near the New Hampshire border, Acton is central to the mountains while keeping you within reach of both Portsmouth and Portland for dining, shopping, entertainment, and coastal day trips. Boston is under 2 hours away. Low property taxes add another compelling advantage. Live here. Renovate in stages. Build equity. Generate income. Or create the waterfront retreat you've been waiting for. This isn't just a renovation project; it's a chance to create value in a location you can't duplicate. The conceptual renderings in the photos and video illustrate one possible vision and are for visualization only.
