A rare and special opportunity to own a well-maintained c. 1880s home located in one of Vinalhaven's most picturesque and desired village neighborhoods.
Nestled between Leo's Lane and Clamshell Alley, single lane roads dotted with boathouses, gardens, and quintessential Maine architecture, the property's two spacious yards provide ample room for gardening, outdoor entertaining and enjoying the harbor view. Inside is a rambling flexible floor plan old Maine homes are known for, with both cozy and large gathering spaces, original floors and trim, and all the charm one would expect. A favorite spot in summer is the 3-season sunporch overlooking the harbor. Cozy up with a book, sip morning coffee, play board games, or simply enjoy the light and views. The kitchen is strategically positioned in the center of the house and has easy access to all first floor rooms--the sunporch, dining room, den/living room, laundry, full bath, plus a fabulous wing with a great room with vaulted ceiling, wet bar and fireplace overlooking the water. Overflow guests enjoy the sleeping loft, and the separate entrance has been ideal for renting this space on Air BnB. Two staircases are in the original house--one near the front door and another off the kitchen fondly called the ''breakfast stairs''. Each leads to three bedrooms and a charming upstairs bathroom with original tub, sink, and flush.
The home enjoys abundant natural light and the flexibility to convert a first floor space into a bedroom should single level living be desired.
This property is one not to miss--its flexible floor plan, fantastic location, and charming Maine aesthetic are wonderful, and surely will appeal to those seeking a legacy property for generations to come. All new kitchen appliances in 2025 and many furnishings transferring, making this easy to move into and begin enjoying immediately!
