About this home

In the ''Village'' of Peaks Island, this yr-rd home has been wonderfully restored with care to recognize the original features of this 130+ year old home with an appropriate nod to the present. In great condition, very tight (read warm) and with a great fenced yard that allows plenty of gardening but doesn't require a weekend to maintain. Full renovated kitchen and full bath, wide pine floors pretty much everywhere, covered wrap-around porch for rocking an hour away here or there and it's all within a short distance from 2 beaches, the stores, school, library and, of course, the ferry.
