Cozy, historic three-season Maine cottage, known to Vinalhaven locals as Stoney Lonesome, is situated on an elevated lot with seasonal mature plantings (forsythia, lilacs, rosa rugosas, hydrangas), long unobstructed views of Indian Creek, and in easy walking distance to the village, library, and town parks. This two-bedroom cottage has been tastefully updated throughout the years while still maintaining its original timber beams and wood plank floors. The galley kitchen is outfitted with Bertazzoni professional grade induction range and refrigerator, granite counters, and bar seating. The well-appointed living /dining room can be heated either with the electric baseboard heater or cast-iron wood stove and has windows facing south, west, and north. Indoors, there is a full bath with a clawfoot iron tub and shower plus a fully enclosed attached outdoor shower perched on granite slab. The first-floor bedroom is fully insulated with windows facing south, east, and north and the second bedroom upstairs includes a spacious loft for additional sleeping space. Best of all is the outdoor deck and wide screened-in porch, privately located on the back of the home for enjoying the spectacular daytime view and night sky.

Adorable and well maintained shingled cottage built in the 1800s with views of Indian Creek— a lovely tidal inlet in the village area. Inside is an open kitchen / dining / living area, first floor bedroom and bath. Two walk through bedrooms above. The kitchen features granite countertops and new stainless Bertazzoni professional range and refrigerator. The main living space has both a wood stove and electric baseboard heater for comfort and ease on chilly Maine evenings. A sweet 3-season 250 sqft screened porch is off the kitchen and is a wonderful summer dining area. Also outside are an outdoor shower, small shed, and rolling lawn shaded by mature maple trees and perennials. The walk-out basement has a washer and dryer plus room to store kayaks and lawn equipment. Currently used as a 3-season home, but has previously been used year-round. Close to town, swimming quarry, and the ferry; or simply enjoy watching the tide come in from the comfort of your living room. The perfect pint-sized slice of Maine island living!
