About This Home

As of May 2019

The word 'magical' only begins to describe the gardens that surround this cozy home on the banks of Quiggle Brook. Built in 1978 by an architect who designed it to be sighted on the banks of the river and capture the sounds of water rushing by, the gardens have been carefully and lovingly cultivated to offer a natural space to wander and enjoy. The house is cozy and warm and offers beautiful views of the surrounding gardens from every room. An elevated walkway attaches the garage to the house with a large bonus room above which is ideal studio space, guest space or rec room. Located just 1 mile off Route 17 the location is rural yet convenient to the coast or Augusta and a healthy walk or bike ride to Union Common for groceries, a pizza or dinner at the Badger Cafe. Situated between Crawford and Seven Tree Ponds which are connected by Quiggle Brook this sweet home offers more than 2 acres of peace, quiet and tranquility. At this price, with so little to choose from, it won't last long.
