Overview

Description

EASE HOUSE is located on the lower side of ''the hill'' in Seal Harbor within close proximity to the town dock and Seal Harbor Yacht club. The circa 1900's rustic two-bedroom cottage features water views, open living area with a massive stone fireplace, new kitchen appliances, and natural landscape. The .45 acre property has been recently surveyed during phase one of pre-construction plans. The utility lines have been buried, and connecting year-round water is near complete. A noted Maine Architect has designed a 3,287 sq ft. house with a 225 sq ft. screened porch for the site. The detailed architectural plans plus the work of other professionals is included in the sale of this property. It is rare that a property comes on the market in this Seal Harbor neighborhood.
