A rare opportunity to own the original Surgeon's Quarters, part of historic Fort McKinley. This idyllic 2 bedroom, 2 full bath, recently remodeled brick home at Diamond Cove, is a true gem. Filled with charm, this freestanding island getaway offers a great balance of historic details and modern amenities including tin ceilings, fireplace, gas stove, recently remodeled kitchen, bath, custom window treatments, and new hardwood floors. Appreciate the privacy of this historic landmark that is set back off the car-free road with screened-in back porch and lovely wooded views. Enjoy the scenic and relaxing ferry ride to Great Diamond Island, just 2 miles from Portland, Maine's largest city. Even more...this home is being sold beautifully furnished. Lots of island amenities to choose from too!
