This charming seasonal cottage is just what you would expect to find on a Maine island. In a special enclave of homes from the same time period you are only minutes away from the boat landing, shops, restaurants and beaches. What's great is that you are tucked away and out of the hustle & bustle. "Back Shore" and the rocky coast are also just around the corner. The house has been well tended over these many years, but, like any vintage cottage on the coast of Maine is in need of some upgrades.
