The second floor also features a full bathroom with a shower, a small powder room off the landing of the stairs, and an additional full bathroom in the basement with a shower/tub combo. Step outside to enjoy a spacious, fenced-in yard perfect for outdoor games or relaxation. A propane grill is available for al fresco dining, and a small covered porch with a garden area adds to the charm of the property. The deeded water access is just a 4-minute walk away, providing easy access to the water where you can watch lobster boats pass by, hauling their daily catch while overlooking the scenic Orr's & Bailey Islands.
