Shady Nook - This magical 2 bedroom cottage is nestled along side of a brook on the shore of Penobscot Bay. The seasonal cottage was built in 1893 and well maintained by the current owner for over 20 years. Wonderful covered wrap around deck overlooking a private front yard which slopes gradually down to a great beach out front. The cottage oozes old world rustic charm, and it's well appointed for your immediate enjoyment. Great rental potential, well and septic in place for potential conversion to year round use. A rare find and well worth a look.
