"Gray Stone" is the picture perfect 1900 quintessential Maine island shingled cottage. Lovingly restored including many upgrades and comforts. Nothing could be more manageable in size and condition for a second home or for all year living.
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.
