What's special

Careful updatesMature gardensOne-bedroom one-bath gem

The first time I visited 53 Island Ave, it reminded me of a poem by Edna St. Vincent Millay. This property describes ''Renascence,'' which the eloquent Ms. Millay poetically uses to describe how Maine's landscape evokes wilderness, sea, and sky. The property is situated in one of Maine's most beautiful settings. This rare-to-the-market offering encompasses a jewel-box home set on an acre of land with 242 feet of waterfront that shares in Maine's infamous sunsets. This one-bedroom, one-bath gem is close to Knox Regional Airport, McCloon's Lobster Shack, and the modern amenities Rockland offers. The mature gardens and careful updates have maintained the integrity of this quintessential Maine cottage.
