BELLS & BUOYS This lovely island home went through a metamorphosis in 2006 when it was transformed from a cozy island cottage to an architecturally distinguished ''new home. '' The house has a casual but elegant feeling about it. Featuring a gourmet kitchen with island, expansive living room, dining area, den, office nook, 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, deck, upper balcony, patio, outdoor kitchen & shower. You have deeded beach access with Centennial Beach just minutes away from your front door so take a break and head down for a quick dip or an afternoon of sunbathing. The water views of Diamond Passage & Portland Harbor are spectacular and ever changing. Watch the orange/purple sunsets while entertaining family and guests from the comfort of your outdoor patio and kitchen. This home has all the ''bells & whistles'' plus is located in a private, quaint island neighborhood. You can sleep peacefully while listening to the bell buoys and whispering fog horns.
