This beautiful cottage, designed by John Calvin Stevens, was built by ship builders in
1904. The gorgeous interior woodwork has been preserved, never covered by insulation or paint,
presenting the historic craftsmanship as it was meant to be. There are four large bedrooms and full bath with clawfoot bathtub on the second floor, and one additional bedroom on the first floor. Completing the first floor is a kitchen, laundry, full bath, living room and dining room with a working fireplace. This quintessential Maine cottage, features a huge wrap around porch with ocean views, outdoor shower, and outbuilding. It sits high atop a double lot that slopes down to a large front yard and beautiful oak grove. Just a stroll to Elwell Hall, the Diamond Island Association beach, and ferry dock. This property is in excellent shape and move in ready.
