Hi! I'm a passive solar (Envelope House) just waiting to welcome you for a visit. I am 7 minutes from the hospital and 5 minutes from I-95, yet a world away on my quiet 4 1/2 acre lot, a 1/10th of a mile off the road. My owner has loved me for 28 years and it shows in my hundreds of perennials, berries and flowering trees. She pampered me inside too with custom made maple cabinets and maple hardwood floors. I love my 5 sliding glass doors and 3 cathedral ceilings, 35' Solariums are great therapy in our Maine winter months. Come see me, I'd love to meet you!
