In the same family since 1959, this 1929 'four square year-round residence provides roomy comfort throughout. There are 4 true bedrooms and 2 full baths.
The convenient Island location is a short walk to the Ferry.
The home retains many original features such as a gracious mahogany center staircase, period molding, and functioning original cast iron radiators. It has been improved with vinyl siding, newer windows, and roof.
The property's future envisions many possibilities for new owners including:
Continued use as a primary residence, suited to a large or growing family;
Conversion to various forms of rental investment;
Enjoyment as a family summer getaway, from near or afar.
Whatever use the future holds for this home, it comes with all the benefits the Peaks community offers to those who spend time on 'The Island', as either resident or visitor:
Welcoming Natural Beauty, Serenity, History, and Friendship.
House is being sold in 'as is' condition.
Photo of local painting by the long time previous owner is meant only to emphasize the positive influence of the Island setting inspiring the creative spirit. Painting is not included with a sale.
