About this home

Charming period cape on the picturesque River Road awaits your finishing touches. This circa 1900 home has had a lot of restoration work done and is ready for your ideas. The current owner purchased it with the idea of creating an artist studio and has converted the 2 car garage to a printmaking studio. This could be a great location for your new Maine home with room for expansion and an in-law suite or Air B & B possibilities. High-speed internet is available at this location. New septic system in 2005
