This private and pastoral year-round home with fine craftsmanship and loads of character is a classic up-island refuge, yet in a location that is central on the island and convenient to town. Abutting Land Bank property, the charming home features an open living and dining room with wide plank floors and beams flowing into the kitchen, all surrounding a central brick fireplace. An expansive family room off the sunny entrance boasts vaulted ceilings, walls of windows, custom built-in bookshelves and storage, and another fireplace. Two sunny bedrooms and a renovated bathroom with new walk-in shower complete the first floor. Upstairs, you’ll find an office, large bedroom and full bathroom. Updates include new windows throughout, updated bathroom and new deck. The exterior spaces are private with conservation land abutting, mature plantings and lovely outdoor living space. The design of the house, with its swayed roof lines, replicates the historic Joshua Slocum house from the 1700s. This is a warm and inviting island home with a nod to historic architecture of the area and many great updates, and it's move-in ready for your family. Four-bedroom septic system.
