This central location, is only minutes from the hiking trails of Acadia National Park and provides easy access to the shops and restaurants of MDI.
This immaculately maintained residence features four bedrooms and three full baths, along with a thoughtfully designed open kitchen complete with updated appliances and granite countertops.
