All is well at ''Heron Cottage.'' This 2-3 bedroom, 2 bath home underwent an extensive ground-up renovation in the early to mid 1990's. With approximately 1,400 square feet of living space, it's laid out quite nicely. The first level has a galley style kitchen, dining area, living room, a small bedroom/den, a bath with shower and a nice sized screened in porch with a wrap around deck. The second floor has 2 bedrooms, laundry room, full bath and a small open study area with a wall of glass offering distant views of Whitehead passage. It has a sun filled fenced yard with ample room for raised bed gardening. Best of all is the location, just steps to the sought after south side of Peaks Island's back shore, where the sound of surf and majestic waves bring breath into life.
