About this home
Enchanting Victorian-style cottage, circa 1920. A steep center gable, a diamond-paned window at its peak, and crisp pediments over the door and windows give it a storybook front long admired along Route 15 in North Deer Isle. The cottage sits on 1.38 acres with 164 feet of road frontage. Evergreens frame a private front lawn. The first floor has a living room with a decorative brick fireplace, a dining room, a bright kitchen with sage green cabinets and a gas range, a full bath, and a sunny rear studio overlooking the woods. A winding staircase leads to three bedrooms and a second full bath. Gray painted hardwood floors run throughout the first and second levels. The garage has room for a car, a workshop, or small boats. Day lilies, a lilac tree, and pink peonies bring color to the yard. Now used as a seasonal guest house with two Rinnai propane heaters, the cottage was once a year-round home and could be again with added heat. The bridge off-island, beaches, trails, and Deer Isle Village are all close by. Fully furnished with vintage antiques.
