Property Description:
Quintessential island home built in 1892, and fronted by an ancient stonewall and huge lilac bushes, this is a marvelous farmhouse-style home. With stained glass windows and wrap around covered porch, the home’s original woodwork and wood floors remain. The house contains front parlor, dining room with built-ins, country kitchen, sewing room, four bedrooms and two bathrooms. Operated in recent years as a Bed & Breakfast, the Braided Rugs Inn exudes comfortable living. The .70 +/- acre lot allows room for a vegetable garden and there is a storage shed/workshop outback of the house.
On sunny days take a lunch to the beach and watch all the boating activity as the gulls call overhead. Or, on rainy days curl up with a good book from the island’s well-stocked library. Evenings can be spent on the covered porch watching the world go by and the sun set.
Additional Comments:
Little Cranberry Island is one of the remaining coastal island year-round communities and is located about three miles from the mainland. The summer season sees a large influx of seasonal residents, with the Islesford Dock Restaurant and the Fernald’s Art Gallery opening. Daily passenger service continues year-round providing island access for even those non-boating islanders. |
