Single-level living with a fully remodeled, income-producing lower-level apartment with separate entrance-- this updated mid-century ranch offers flexibility for a range of buyers. The main level provides comfortable everyday living, anchored by a sunny living room centered around the fireplace. The kitchen features quality appliances and fresh white shaker cabinetry. The primary bedroom includes an attached second bath, while the second bedroom sits adjacent to the full bath on the main floor. An attached garage adds convenience. The lower-level apartment has its own private entrance, full kitchen, generous open living space, full bath, and fireplace -- creating a warm and welcoming space in its own right. The apartment can also be accessed directly from the main level, allowing the property to function as a larger 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home with approximately 2,117 square feet of living space. The space works well for family, guests, or rental income, and it has recently operated as a successful vacation rental with proven income potential. Set on 1.10 acres, the property offers a lovely front yard, private backyard, paved driveway, and ample storage throughout. A small deck sits off the back of the home, and the setting would lend itself well to a larger deck to better take advantage of the quiet backyard. Situated on the western side of Deer Isle, the location offers easy access to many of the island's favorite outdoor spots. The Dunham Point loop, community garden, and Sylvester's Cove Beach are all close by, and the Island Country Club -- a public golf course with tennis courts and pickleball courts coming soon -- is just down the road. A versatile property in a convenient location with income potential built right in.
