This cape on the lower Saint George Peninsula is a specimen of the highest order. When writers put pen to paper about what a Coastal Maine house looks and feels like, this is what they toil in earnest to describe. Since 1850 this homestead, situated between the village of Tenants Harbor and the hamlet of Martinsville, has been anchored by stone walls, ocean air and pine trees. 209 has been updated but in a way that has not disturbed the vintage, cozy austerity houses of this era promise. Neat as a pin and sitting on almost 2.5 acres, the property directs your attention to the full-sun backyard; a back deck overlooks a fenced in yard, a well-loved barn that has historically been used as an artist studio, green grass accentuated by native plantings and paths leading to the woods behind - untouched, quiet and ready for exploration in any season. The kitchen is the soul of the house with original wood floors, exposed beams and an authentic Glenwood cookstove from 1912 to be used for both cooking and auxiliary heat. The first floor has a relaxed den with a woodstove, a more formal living room with a fireplace and a dining area with a bay window. Upstairs are 3 sunny bedrooms and a bonus room with an enamel woodstove - this room is perfectly suited as a bedroom, office or studio. Saint George is a lovely, welcoming year-round community with working waterfronts, publicly accessible waterways for boating of all types, beaches, hiking trails, markets, shops, restaurants and villages to experience and embrace with a wonderful network of volunteer opportunities to become involved with. The larger towns of Rockland, Thomaston, Camden and Rockport are all within a 15-20 minute drive. The local airport, servicing Logan via Jetblue, is a 15 minute drive from 209 Port Clyde Road and Portland International Jetport is less than 2 hours away - this makes the Midcoast area completely and easily accessible from virtually anywhere.
