A classic Maine shingled cottage in the village of South Addison is ready to be yours! A newer heat pump works well to heat or cool. There is a hookup for a wood stove as well. This small cottage feels much larger due to the cathedral ceiling in the open kitchen/living room space. A loft large enough for two twin beds or a single larger bed can add to the living space. The ocean is close enough to feel the light breeze! Ingersoll Paths and Ingersoll Point Preserve which is a 145 acre preserve with trail systems is very close by as well as many other trails, public docks and uncrowded beaches. For the investor, a former owner had successful short term rental history. Come check out this little piece of Maine at a great price!

This property offers an idyllic Maine cedar-shingled cottage, located in a stunningly picturesque and friendly village. Although it's not waterfront/view (ocean is across the road) it is near a lovely inlet offering views of the open ocean and breathtaking sunsets over moored fishing boats. South Addison has ocean on two sides; daily refreshing breezes keep it delightfully cool on hot summer days. This cozy cottage, although listed as a seasonal property, is insulated and can easily be converted to a year round home. The cottage features an open living space with cathedral ceiling. The loft has room for two single beds. A laundry/utility room opens to the backyard. In the rear is a fire pit and two storage sheds with ample space for your bicycles, lawnmower, etc. Recent improvements include a new heat-pump and the 2 bedrooms feature new oak-look laminate floors. What makes this property really special is its location. THIS is picturesque Maine! On your daily walks right in town you'll pass sheep grazing in a pasture and a beaver pond. It's a three-minute walk to the Ingersoll Preserve's enchanting 3.5 mile ocean-hugging hiking trails, and short drives to many other magnificent hikes, running the gamut from easy to challenging. The property is only 1.6 miles to the town dock, 1/2 mile to the wharf where fishing boats deliver their lobsters (available to buy), and a 5-minute drive to the beach facing Tibbetts Island, where you can have a campfire or launch a kayak. INVESTORS TAKE NOTICE! The previous owner had a very successful rental history. Although rural, it's only a 15 min. drive to the grocery and hardware store, 10 minutes to the quaint Addison Library, and a short drive to the new Milbridge theater and free summer night outdoor concerts. Many restaurants are within a half hour, including in Machias, the county seat. This cottage is a real find, you won't find anything near this price point offering these amenities!
