This address is a five-minute car ride, eight-minute bike or 25-minute walk to the public ferry landing. Private marinas are even closer.

In addition to all the living space upstairs, where youll find three bedrooms, a full bath and laundry room, theres a partial daylight basement waiting to be finished for your needs. The patio doors open right under the porch, making this an ideal space even in its unfinished form for transitioning from outdoor to indoor activities, or for storing gear.

A caring, year-round community with lower taxes, and well-supported town services make Long Island one of Maines best kept secrets. If youre looking for a quiet lifestyle just outside the city, take a closer look at Long Island.
