This graceful home is a real treasure. From the charming curb appeal of classic lines, lush beach rose hedge, special plantings and woodland greenspace, to the surprisingly warm embrace of the interior, you will know instantly: this is a home with a personality, a soul, a history. The notable features are many: curved walls, a lovely staircase, country style kitchen with huge porcelain double sink, large living room with woodstove, a formal parlor or library along the left side of the house (which connects to the large full bath - perfect as a private first floor suite if desired). Plenty of space for family and friends on the second floor, capped off by the just fabulous, large 3 season ''sleeping porch. '' Defined by banks of windows on 3 sides, this second level porch feels like a magical tree house. Great closet space throughout, not usually found in an older home. Many significant improvements have been made (for example: 23 new windows, new clapboard, blown-in insulation, wiring, heating, plumbing, appliances and much more - see the extensive list in data packet), all while maintaining authentic vintage character. Natural gardens feature a broad selection of medicinal plants, herbs and flowers, providing ingredients for natural remedies, fine cooking and offering an attractive respite for birds and bees. In an area of well-kept properties, this is just steps from the public landing at Saturday Cove and minutes to Bayside and vibrant Belfast. This corner of Northport offers a joyful haven where you can really feel At Home.
