7 Mountain St Vinalhaven, ME 04863

Turn-of-the-century Cape Cod-style home located on a side street in the village. Rich in character and period charm, many details remain intact, including original kitchen cabinetry, a built-in dining room cabinet, two staircases, and wood floors throughout. Thoughtful updates provide year-round comfort while preserving the home's historic appeal, and the flexible floor plan allows one to enjoy a spacious 5 bedroom, 4 bath single residence or two living areas--one with 3 beds/1.5 baths, and an apartment with 2 beds/1.5 baths. The enclosed entry feels like a step back in time and leads into a sunny eat-in kitchen with traditional back staircase. This room is a favorite place to visit with the cook, play games, or enjoy the warmth of the wood stove on a foggy day or snowy winter evening. A spacious dining room with built-in corner cabinet is off the kitchen, followed by a cozy living room. A full bath with laundry, half bath, second living room, and small eat-tin kitchen round out the first floor. Upstairs are 5 bedrooms, a library, and two half baths. The front yard enjoys wonderful morning sun and is filled with perennial plantings, while the backyard captures warm western light and is the perfect spot to relax and enjoy sunsets. Located just a short stroll to the village center and an easy bike ride to Lawson's Quarry and the ferry, you have very little need for a car. If you want to live in the village and enjoy the charm of old Maine, this is a perfect choice!
