Longing for a simpler time...or perhaps simply longing for Old Maine? Tucked along a quiet side street in the heart of the village, this turn-of-the-century Cape Cod-style home 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, 1A½-bath residence and a two-bedroom, 1A½-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 over coffee while someone prepares dinner, family board games, and everyone enjoying the warmth of the wood stove on a foggy afternoon or snowy winter evening. Just beyond is a spacious dining room with its original built-in corner cabinet, perfect for family gatherings, followed by a comfortable living room. A full bath with laundry, half bath, second living room, 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 front yard welcomes the morning sun with perennial gardens, while the backyard enjoys warm western light--an ideal place for gardening, cookouts, or relaxing with friends as the sun sets. 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. Here, life naturally slows to the rhythm of walking, biking, visiting neighbors, and enjoying the simple pleasures of island living
