Longing for a simpler time...or perhaps simply longing for Old Maine? Tucked along a quiet side street in the village, this turn-of-the-century Cape Cod-style home with ell captures the warmth, authenticity, and easy rhythm of island living. Rich in character and period charm, many original details remain intact, including original kitchen cabinetry, a built-in dining room cabinet, two staircases, and wood floors throughout. Thoughtful updates provide year-round comfort while preserving the home's original appeal. The flexible floor plan offers the option of a spacious five-bedroom, four-bath single-family home or two separate living areas--a three-bedroom, 1½-bath residence and a two-bedroom, 1½-bath apartment--ideal for guests, multigenerational living, or valuable rental income. The enclosed entry feels like stepping back to a simpler time, leading into a sunny eat-in kitchen--the heart of the home. It's easy to imagine friends lingering while someone prepares dinner, playing board games with everyone enjoying the warmth of the wood stove on a foggy afternoon or snowy winter evening. A spacious dining room with its original built-in corner cabinet is off the kitchen, and is perfect for family gatherings. Next is a comfortable living room with plenty of room everyone to enjoy. A full bath with laundry, second living room, another bath, and small eat-in kitchen complete the first floor. Upstairs are five inviting bedrooms, a library, and two half baths, providing ample space for family and guests. Outside, the corner lot includes a front yard on Mountain Street with lovely morning light, established perennial gardens, and multiple seating areas, while the backyard on Carriage Lane, is the perfect spot for cookouts, lobster feeds at the picnic table, and watching sunsets. Located just a short stroll from the village center and an easy bike ride to Lawson's Quarry and the ferry, there's little need for a car. Come enjoy the way life should be!
