Fantastic location. Far enough from downtown to be quiet, close enough to walk to restaurants, shops, and the Acadia bus. Also a very short walk to the YMCA and the skate park, sports fields, basketball courts, and tennis/pickleball courts.

Charming 1900’s home. Nice park a few steps away. Walked to town and the wharf everyday with the littles for meals and tours. Quiet, away from the busy part of town but close enough to walk. Will definitely be back
