Immaculately maintained. Those are the words that come to mind. When you enter into this charming 1990's home on Southwest Harbor I believe you will feel the same. This residence has great style, spaces & layout. From the moment you pull onto E Ridge Rd you will know this is the community for you with its well appointed homes due to the simple deeded covenants. With its manageable sized yard, a new metal roof, sizable deck & being its in turn key condition, you will be moved in and ready for this summer's BBQ's in no time! The quaint downtown of Southwest Harbor is approximately a five minute ride by car, a nine minute bike ride or a 30 minute walk. Additional spaces in the basement can be used for an office, man cave, media room, sewing room or whatever room. Home is on public sewer and water. This residence has everything going for it, price, condition & location. Tenants lease must convey & expires 6/23/18. See deed for restrictions & covenants. Call today before it disappears!
