Seller approved special financing is available on what was once known as The Bluff House, a former Sea Captain's House. This 1800's, 4 bedroom, 3 bath property has many renovations and updates complete with new birch flooring, new structural support system under the kitchen, new lighting in the kitchen and bathrooms, and new plumbing stubbed and ready to go. Currently the kitchen and two of the bathrooms are ready for your own touch! The large two car detached garage is completely floored upstairs and could be finished to be used as an office, guest suite or artist's studio. Islesboro is a hop, skip and a jump from the mainland with just a 20 minute ferry ride. One can enjoy the serenity of island life yet still be connected to the coastal towns of Maine. The Sea Captains house is an absolute gem that sits on the north side of the island where life is quiet and peaceful. Morning walks along the trails to the shore and then a walk about on the adjoining Hutchins Island Preserve offers a certain kind of serenity. Blueberry Hill Preserve and Pripet Riding Club are only minutes away. Islesboro offers a way of life that takes one back in time while having excellent fiber optic internet, two local stores and public and private ferry services. Come enjoy amazing open water vistas, watching sailing regattas and spending time on your own private beach.
