Double doors lead to a full length porch and domed cupola flying the American flag. A stained glass window on the stair landing offers a unique red tinted view of the rising sun and bay. Another feature of the living room is the fireplace made from the pebbles, stones and shells found on the beach. The fireplace has a propane-fired Jotul stove that, on cool nights will heat the entire living room and give warmth to the upstairs bedrooms as well. A large flat screen 32” HD TV, and board games are there, too. The dining room can seat ten comfortably with the addition of two more leaves, and a side door leads to the porch. KITCHEN The kitchen was expanded some years ago and now has a large stainless steel sink set in a Formica countertop. There is a large refrigerator (new 2012) with a mini refrigerator in the back hall. The five burner electric glass-top stove is new, as is the Bosch dishwasher in 2016. There is also a propane Rinnai heater on the back wall. A toaster oven microwave, Nutribullet smoothie blender and two coffee makers (traditional & Keurig) help to make a kitchen our great grandmother would not believe!

Whatever is in the pantry cupboard is yours to use. The supermarket (Hannaford’s) is 3 miles back to the first traffic light at Rte. 27.

A great spot for fishing and swimming! Keep your ears alert for the cry of osprey as they circle the bay looking for fish. Bald Eagles also make their own appearance from time to time, and low tide will find herons stalking the shallows, while families of ducks swim the bay in search of food as well. The honk of geese alerts you to a V formation of the large birds soaring overhead. Seagulls abound and lobster boats and all sizes of sailing and motor craft traverse the bay throughout the day. Exploring the beach for sea glass and old pottery bits as well as shells will keep kids of all ages (aren’t we all while on vacation?) busy.
