Have you been searching for your own little slice of Paradise in Maine? Blue Sky Cottage (aptly named after the Allman Brothers song, which says it all, ''Early morning sunshine tell me all I need to know. You're my blue sky, you're my sunny day!'') could be the place for you! This classic, quintessential 1930s bungalow was renovated in 2010 for year-round living with potential additional living space by utilizing the one-car garage. Perched on the side of the hill in the quaint village of Spruce Head Island, overlooking the harbor with expansive views of the ocean and surrounding islands. Beautiful perennial gardens abound; no need for artwork on the walls; simply look out your front windows for a beautiful and ever-changing canvas! Or relax on the covered porch to the sights and sounds of this classic working waterfront. Enjoy the simple pleasures of life - living in Maine, the fresh salt air and sunshine!
