Unique Charm On A Sunny Morning ~ Inspiring Eye Lid Dormer

April showers bring May flowers and a great view.
This house needs some loving attention. Instead of guessing what upgrade styles a buyer wants, our pricing will let the buyer personally choose features and colors. Choose to match their very-own taste. Real charm factors can make life wonderful! A buyer can buy this gem and come out ahead for them self. We are glad for that.

Summer view 2008. The house is centrally located, approximately 20 minutes from Belfast; 35 minutes from Augusta, Waterville, and Camden; 1 hour from Bangor; 1.5 hours from Portland. About 3.5 hours from Boston.

Quotes from our deed language include the following words: "... a right-of-way twenty (20') feet in width running from the southerly side of Route #3 to the shore of St Georges Lake...." and ".... for the purpose of ingress and egress to and from St. George's lake and to use said right-of-way for any and all purposes in which a right-of-way may be used."
