Description

Calling all creatives who need to write music, letters or novels by the window – who relish the simplicity of yesteryear without sacrificing today's comforts – who need to pause at the meadow's edge and watch the sun set over Merrymeeting Bay. The unique three-sided fireplace centers this antique storybook cape that is small in stature yet looms in architectural detail. Complete with an improved post and beam barn. Ideal year round escape from the ordinary into the peace and quiet of Maine's countryside.Calling all creatives who need to write music, letters or novels by the window – who relish the simplicity of yesteryear without sacrificing today's comforts – who need to pause at the meadow's edge and watch the sun set over Merrymeeting Bay.
