A classic American survivor that successfully combines immaculate preservation with modern comforts, this circa 1780 cape overlooks huge trees and gardens to the front and sweeping meadows to the rear. At only 5 minutes to Brunswick/Bowdoin College, 10 minutes to public waterfront on Maquoit, Mere Point or Middle Bays and 45 minutes to Portland, you can live in a piece of history on a lovely rural property and still enjoy all the amenities the area has to offer.
